Abstract
Relevance. The article discusses the peculiarities of the diet of the population of the city of Kursk in the early years of Soviet power. This issue has not been sufficiently disclosed in the scientific literature. The conclusions made on the basis of the study determined the relevance of the work.
The purpose of the article is to form an idea about the nutrition of the population of the city of Kursk in the early years of Soviet power.
The objectives arising from the set goal are to: 1) indicate the nutritional norms of the population in the first post-revolutionary and post-war years; 2) identify the differences in the nutrition of different segments of the population of the city of Kursk; 3) determine the degree of sufficiency of nutrition of citizens in the early years of Soviet power.
Methodology. The methods of objectivity, scientific, historicism were applied in the work, in addition to which historical-comparative and chronological approaches were used.
Results. Revolutionary events and the civil war led to a rapid deterioration of the food situation in the city of Kursk. Bread became the main product on the tables of the Kurians. The food set was dependent on the category of the population. Highly skilled workers had a higher income, and, consequently, a better set of food products. Employees were inferior to them. Non-working citizens had a completely meager diet. The Soviet government raised the issue of improving food conditions, was engaged in the organization of public catering in the city.
Conclusions. The food of the Kurians was determined by the state of the country's economy. Nutritional standards of the population in the first post-revolutionary and post-war years were reduced. The shortage of food in the early years of Soviet power was palpable. There were differences in the nutrition of different social strata of the population of the city of Kursk, the most complete was the table of highly skilled workers.
