Against the background of the expansion of the network of higher education institutions and their industry specialization, industrial academies were established. The purpose of the article is to examine the development of higher forestry education in the USSR during the fi rst fi ve-year period and the activities of the Arkhangelsk Academy, which functioned since from 1931 to 1941. The article examines the activities of the Arkhangelsk Academy, which operated from 1931 to 1941. It was supposed to train senior personnel for the forestry industry who were familiar with advanced technology, shared the policy of the Soviet government and were able to mobilize workers to perform various tasks. It was revealed that at the organizational stage, relations with the Arkhangelsk Forestry Institute, which had a material and personnel base, played a positive role. Further, this resulted in the academy lagging behind other forestry higher educational institutions in educational and scientifi c activities. It was concluded that graduates of the Arkhangelsk Industrial Academy were in demand for senior positions in trusts and enterprises. However, in the late 1930s, the Academy duplicated the functions of forestry engineering institutes for the training of engineers and advanced training institutes that provided training for senior personnel аnd as a result, it was closed.
