That is why the methodological and terminological basis of the presented research seems to quite essential.

It was shown in this paper how naive, enthusiastic, full of uncoditional faith in the absolute might of science the authors of the 60s were. And the CPSU Programme of 1961 was also full of enthusiam over the scientific and tehcnological progress. It was this enthusiasm that allowed to promise to accomplish building material and technological basis of communism by 1980. The matter was not only in the voluntarism of N. S. Khrushchev. This was the general prevailing mood both here and in the West.
