Abstract: This paper surveys local public finance developments in the former Soviet Union during perestroika. We argue that there was a significant decentralization of taxation power and responsibility to the oblast and city levels between 1985 and 1990. This decentralization, accompanied by more pressure on local organizations to spend, led to the breakdown of a coordinated all-Union fiscal system.
