Visualization of the USSR - Russia

It was necessary not to try to transfer the well-functioning planned part of the Soviet economy to the market rails, but to RECOVER its market component.

If we compare the grocery store of an average provincial town in 1955 and 1975, it will seem to us that we live in different countries with different cultures and types of economic relations ...

In the first case, you will see black caviar, crabs, at least five types of sausages on the shelves (both cheap, such as liver or blood, and expensive, like salami or cervelat), a wide variety of fresh and smoked fish, without fail beef, pork, lard, bacon, cheap soup sets, main types of vegetables..

In the second, you will most likely see frozen pollock or hake, canned food, large three-liter jars with pickles and tomatoes, as well as juices, from birch to tomato. For any meat, starting with the bones, a queue will immediately line up ..

It would seem that everything should be the other way around. The level of production of ABSOLUTE TOTAL in 1975 was tens and hundreds of percent higher than, in fact, back in post-war 1955. Shops should be bursting with goods, the country is on a sharp rise. And the picture, and people over 40 remember it very well, was exactly the opposite ..

The fact is that socialism is a transitional state between capitalism and communism, and without understanding the intricacies of this state of affairs, it is impossible to manage the economy of a socialist superpower.

Socialism carries a huge number of "birthmarks" of capitalism, being, as it were, "reverse capitalism" ...

Lenin clearly stated that "socialism is nothing but the next step forward from the state-capitalist monopoly. Or in other words: socialism is nothing but the state-capitalist monopoly, DELIVERED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ALL PEOPLE and to that extent ceased to be a capitalist monopoly .. ."

Money, as an equivalent of social labor, market circulation, marketability of a significant part of production, competition within the commodity sector, distribution according to labor (and not according to needs) are purely capitalist principles and criteria that remain under socialism and organically supplement and level the UPPER BREAKTHROUGH communist economy .

Communism is the future of mankind, which is realized on the basis of a fundamentally new scientific and technological order.

Until then, the world is waiting for numerous breakthroughs and setbacks, revolutions and epochs of reaction, upheaval and restoration. Before the establishment of such a system of relations, several centuries and several millennia may pass; it is not set "at the click" of rulers or theorists ..

Primitive, unfamiliar with the works of the classics, practically not in contact with philosophical and social science literature at all, Khrushchev, being at the same time, undoubtedly, an outstanding politician and intriguer, managed, taking advantage of the disappearance of the last major Marxist theorist Stalin, to incline the political leadership of the country to accept and begin to implement the ridiculous, a pretentious, fantasy-based program for the construction of communism, one of the main mechanisms of which was the COMPLETE REJECTION of most of the capitalist and post-capitalist regulators that ensured the stability of the Soviet system.

Already in 1962, such a policy led to a sharp slowdown in economic growth, the widespread emergence of retail shortages of food and other consumer goods. In 1964, the Plenum of the Central Committee, not forgiving Khrushchev's art, removed him from the post of First Secretary, but strategically, this did not change anything.

The Brezhnev leadership, with the exception of Prime Minister Kosygin and a few employees close to him, did not realize the MAIN DAMAGE inflicted by Khrushchev on the socialist project.

The Council of Ministers and the State Planning Commission focused on "licking the wounds" from the economic experiments of the former leader, on overcoming the consequences of his rule, without eliminating the KEY PROBLEM: they did not dare to restore the market artel-cooperative and private sector of the USSR national economy.

Kosygin was refused in the Politburo when he repeatedly raised this issue in 1965-66, citing its "untimeliness." Indeed, the Eighth (so-called Golden) Five-Year Plan ended with notable successes.

Over the five years, the national income grew by 42%, the volume of gross industrial output by 51%, and agriculture by 21%.

The formation of a unified energy system of the European part of the USSR was completed and a unified energy system of Central Siberia was created. The development of the Tyumen oil and gas complex has begun.

But problems piled up.

Then the Kosygin Government, relying on the works of the famous Soviet economist Yevsey Lieberman, embarked on a different type of reform. A stake was placed on the policy of partial decentralization of enterprise management and the expansion of their independence by introducing for the latter an indicator of profitability and profit, greater freedom at the disposal of the latter, the release or mitigation of a number of planned indicators established by the State Planning Commission, as well as direct stimulation of the work of specific workers ...

It should be recognized that this reform failed, and within the framework of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this failure became noticeably noticeable. The error, in many respects, forced consisted in the wrongly chosen object of reform.

It was necessary not to try to transfer the planned part of the Soviet economy to the market rails quite well and harmoniously, with the first pace in the world, but to RECOVER its market component, the absence of which more and more slowed down and devalued the Soviet project in the eyes of people.

As for the planned-communist part of the national economic complex, in 1970 it firmly occupied the second place in the world, by a wide margin from the third, and this, mind you, before the development of Samotlor and other "charms" of the upcoming hydrocarbon economy ..

The GDP of the USSR in 1970 (433.4 billion dollars) was 2.0 times greater than the GDP of Germany (215.8 billion dollars), the GDP of Japan (212.6 billion dollars) 2.0 times, France's GDP ($148.5 billion) was 2.9 times less than the US GDP ($1,073.3 billion) by 59.6%.
