Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the problems of complex approach to modern historiographical analysis of the history of Soviet engineering and technical intelligentsia. The regional aspects of the problem are being of special attention. Firstly, these are the problematic issues to define the generalizing criteria which make the basis of the scientific definition. On the one hand, these is-sues are caused by the splash of interest to studying the fundamentals of this social professional group and by the various points of view of the researchers of the post soviet period. On the oth-er hand, the issues mentioned above are closely connected with the appearing discrepancy of empiric and cultural research, when the increasing moral and ethical attitudes are changing the basics of sociological definitions and prevailing over the value neutral ones, which conscien-tiously avoid moral principles. Secondly, there is the challenge to search new scientific and methodological approaches to study the history of intelligentsia and its engineering and technical professional group. The concepts by S. A. Krasilnikov, V. Sh. Nazimova, A. V. Kvakin are valued the most. They are original and help to distract from both social historical and philosophical cultural approaches. These concepts are based more on interdisciplinary synergetic principles. Thirdly, there are the problems connected with the methods of studying the history of re-gional intelligentsia, in particular, engineering and technical intelligentsia of Tyumen region.
