N. Rogalina

Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2007, issue 2

Abstract: The article considers the initial level of Soviet industrial modernization in connection with the analysis of outcomes of the reconstruction period. It estimates institutional conditions in the beginning of national economy’s reconstruction and makes comparisons with the pre-revolutionary situation. The industrialization of the 1920-s is examined in two aspects: primary formation of industry in comparison with agriculture and priority development of heavy industry with respect to light industry. The author concludes that existing historical conditions, decision-making mechanism, practice of irrational and costly economy made the basis for future contradictions, accumulating pre-requisites for state-running of the economy and central planning of the first five-year plan.
