Abstract. Introduction. This article provides a review of publications by Ural scientists exploring the subject of cooperation between Russia and other countries in the field of Russian industrial heritage. The scientific significance of the topic lies in the need to assess the impact of the global movement for the preservation of industrial heritage on the origins and development of the domestic one. Methods and materials. The directions of ongoing international cooperation were identified. In addition, the author explored over 30 currently available scientific publications concerning these directions in one way or another. For this purpose, general scientific and special historical methods were used (comparative/historical, historical/typological, and chronological domainspecific). There are no special studies comprehensively investigating the problem stated in the article. However, there exist three historiographic reviews that cursorily touch upon the subject of international cooperation in the sphere of industrial heritage. Analysis. The scrutiny of the scholarly papers identified several directions related to the study of the posed problem: the history and activities of the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage, Russia’s membership in it; exchange of experience between scientists of different countries; organisation of international events; joint scientific research; the formation of the domestic conceptual framework in this scientific sphere and the use of international terminology; and the role of personality. Results. The analysis of the published materials shows that Russian researchers have studied quite thoroughly the influence of the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage on the emergence of activities focused on the study and conservation of industrial heritage in Russia. Much attention has been paid to the history of the organisation of international congresses and conferences and the implementation of joint research projects, mainly with scientists from European countries. Some attention has also been paid to the problem of using and borrowing foreign terms and methods and their subsequent transformation in relation to domestic material. A conclusion is made regarding national researchers’ insufficient attention to analysing the impact of the personality factor in this sphere.
Key words: industrial heritage, congresses, Russian Federation, Ural, historiography.
