Abstract: The Soviet Union's increased military spending favoured the growth of the USSR's economy, mainly its heavy industries, often managed by the military-industrial complex. In times of crisis, the countries belonging to its zone of influence seem to accept a national deterioration in the terms of trade in order to benefit from its protection. On the other hand, the increase in military expenditure also leads to a reduction in productive investment, which reduces the development potential of industry, but does not reduce overall consumption, which testifies to the decisive influence of the Soviet planned economy.
