Abstract. The article examines organization of purchase of foreign technical novelties in the USSR in the second half of the 1930s. Relying on previously unknown archival sources, the author studies such a poorly investigated aspect as interaction of the Military Technical Bureau, scientific and technical intelligence and the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Trade within this process. Special role of the Military Technical Bureau as a coordinating body is emphasized. The paper analyses evolution of strategic approaches in the sphere of purchasing - transition from large-scale supplies to selective borrowings, which were planned to be introduced into domestic industry.
