The daily life of teachers in the Krasnoyarsk Territory during the WWII period

The subject of the research is to identify the changes that occurred in the activities of teachers in the Krasnoyarsk Territory during the WWII. The mass composition of this professional group, which worked both in the city and in the countryside, however, was not the subject of a special study. The main attention is paid to regional peculiarities, which make it possible to assess the effectiveness of the state policy of the period under study. The attention of the party and state bodies to the education system did not weaken during the war years, which cannot be said about the care of teaching staff, due to the objective and subjective conditions of the period under study. The identification of an array of typologically diverse historical sources in the State Archive of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which were first introduced into scientific circulation, makes it possible to obtain answers to a number of key questions of teachers' daily practice. The research methodology is based on the principles of a critical understanding of the activities of the party-state bodies for the social protection of teachers in the region. The historical and anthropological method made it possible to reconstruct the working and living conditions of a mass professional group, their impact on the results of activities aimed at solving state tasks facing the education system during the period under study. Due to limited material resources, the decisions of higher authorities were not fully implemented in the region, however, control over the implementation of the Law on Universal Education and Patriotic Education of Students was systematic. In the context of the mass conscription of the region's population into the Red Army, the teachers who remained in the province were overloaded not only with the academic load, but also with socio-political, cultural and educational work with the population, participation in agricultural work, etc. All this had a negative impact on the quality of education, the moral and psychological state of teachers. The teaching staff courageously overcame material and household problems along with the entire population of the region, while maintaining dignity and the status of professional affiliation. Therefore, during the war years, a significant number of teachers were awarded high state awards
