Description:
Samuelson (Institute for Research in Economic History, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden) examines the involvement of Red Army officials in the Gosplan, the central planning organ of Stalinist industrialization, drawing on recently opened archives in Russia. He links the military's vision of future war, formulated by the leading military theoritician Mikhail Tukhachevskii in the theory of "deep operations", with investment patterns of the five-year plans. Plans and requirements as specified for branches and individual enterprises show a new dimension of the pre-war Soviet economy.
