ABSTRACT
The introduction into the Armed Forces of the nuclear weapon and the changes in their organizational structure gave a new stimulus to the development of Soviet military science. The activity of military science organization broadened and was renewed, and problems of military art, especially in the sphere of strategy, began to be studied more deeply and researched. In the troops and at military institutions of learning all-round research and mastery of methods of conducting military actions in conditions of use of nuclear weapons were widely established and generalization of the results of the first maneuvers and troop exercises began. In a comparatively short period of time in the Armed Forces, a significant quantity of military theoretical works, researching many problems of conducting combat actions on different scales under conditions of use of the nuclear weapon, especially in the beginning period of the war, were elaborated.
