About engineering geology and some questions from its history

Abstract
The Central Committee of our party and Comrade Stalin personally have always paid and continue to pay great attention to the ideological training and education of personnel. This work is acquiring enormous importance now, when our country is going through a significant period of transition from socialism to communism. In accordance with the resolution of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) on the journals "Zvezda" and "Leningrad", Soviet scientists were given the task of reviewing the development paths of individual branches of science, intensifying the fight against anti-scientific trends, the worship of foreign science and technology, and restoring the priority of Russian science. A sure means of combating the shortcomings of any work is criticism and self-criticism. "It is generally recognized," Comrade Stalin points out, "that no science can develop and succeed without a struggle of opinions, without freedom of criticism." This instruction from Comrade Stalin is of particular importance for engineering geology, the youngest of the geological disciplines, the history of whose development spans only two decades. Naturally, many provisions in engineering geology have not yet been sufficiently developed and formulated, and some are completely incorrect and erroneous. The present article is devoted to a critical examination of some of these provisions.
