Abstract: The history of the Soviet Union highlights the importance of economic problems, with several monetary and then economic crises. The coercive power of decision was rendered impotent in the face of a budget deficit and a monetary crisis with no immediate solution. It was then necessary to liberalize prices and stabilize economic activity through a rigorous macroeconomic policy. Gradually, the market economy was established, at the cost of a rapid impoverishment of a large part of the population. It was then necessary to begin the process of privatization and a process of reorganization of the military-industrial complexes. The social price is high, but the march towards the market economy has begun. The main effort also consists in the reconversion of military activities that have weighed too heavily on the Soviet economy. It is necessary to reconvert the activities while making them competitive, which is not at all the same management logic. The result was considerable technological and economic difficulties, very heavy and painful social problems and political adhesion that was difficult to obtain.
