But the amount of work the Party has done, and the significance of the events that have taken place during this time both at home and abroad make it one of the important periods in the history of the Com­ munist Party of the Soviet Union and its efforts to in­ crease the strength of our country, build a communist society, and ensure world peace. In home policy, they were years during which the Party, guided by the interests of the whole people, made a critical appraisal of the situation in agriculture and in­ dustry, and, on the basis of the successes already achieved, adopted a number of important measures designed to ensure a great advance in the country’s socialist de­ velopment. In so doing it boldly uncovered shortcomings in different fields of economic, governmental, and Party activity, broke down outdated conceptions, resolutely sweeping aside everything that had become outmoded and was hindering our advance. It is now clear to all that the measures adopted by the Party were correct and timely. They ensured steady de­ velopment of the socialist economy and a further rise in the Soviet people’s material and cultural standards. There have also been important developments in world affairs during the period under review. Thanks to the consistent peaceful foreign policy of the socialist coun­ tries the state of international tension, which was fraught with great danger, has been replaced by a certain detente. It was because the Soviet Union and its friends—the People’s Republic of China and the other People’s De­ mocracies—promptly took a number of successive dip­ 7 lomatic steps supported by all peace-loving forces that real prospects for improvement opened up in the interna­ tional arena. All this shows that our Party takes due account of the urgent needs of both home and foreign policy and pre­ pares prompt measures appropriate to these needs. This clearly indicates our Party’s close and unbreakable ties with the people, the wisdom of its Leninist collective leadership, and the all-conquering power of the Marxist- Leninist teaching upon which it bases its activity. Throughout these years the Party has held high the great banner of the immortal Lenin. Fidelity to Leninism is the source of all the successes of our Party. {Stormy applause.) Let us now examine our country’s international position and its internal situation during the period under review. I THE INTERNATIONAL POSITION OF THE SOVIET UNION The emergence of socialism from within the bounds of a single country and its transformation into a world sys­ tem is the main feature of our era. Capitalism has proved powerless to prevent this process of world-historic signif­ icance. The simultaneous existence of two opposite world economic systems, the capitalist and the socialist, devel­ oping according to different laws and in opposite direc­ tions, has become an indisputable fact. Socialist economy is developing towards the ever-in­ creasing satisfaction of the material and cultural require­ ments of all members of society, the continuous expan­ sion and improvement of production on the basis of high­ er techniques, and closer co-operation and mutual assist­ ance between the socialist countries. The trend of capitalist economy is that of the ever- increasing enrichment of the monopolies, the further intensification of exploitation and cuts in the living stand­ ards of millions of working people, particularly in the colonial and dependent countries, of increased militari­ st zation of the economy, the exacerbation of the competitive struggle among the capitalist countries, and the maturing of new economic crises and upheavals. 1. THE STEADY ECONOMIC ADVANCE IN THE U.S.S.R. AND THE PEOPLE’S DEMOCRACIES The period under review was marked by a great expansion in the national economy of the U.S.S.R. and also in that of the People’s Republic of China, the Polish People’s Republic, the Czechoslovak Republic, the Hungarian People’s Republic, the Rumanian People’s Republic, the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, the People’s Republic of Albania, the German Democratic Republic, the Korean People’s Democratic Republic, the Mongolian People’s Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam. The rates at which industrial output has increased in the Soviet Union and in capitalist countries from 1929 to 1955 can be seen from the following table: Volume of Industrial Output in U.S.S.R. and Capitalist Countries (1929=100) 1929 1937 1943 194 6 1949 1950 1952 1955 U.S.S.R. 100 429 573 466 870 1,082 1,421 2,049 All capitalist countries . 100 104 — 107 130 148 164 193 Of which: United States . 100 103 215 153 164 190 210 234 Great Britain . 100 124 118 144 153 153 181 B1E France .... 100 82 63 92 92 108 125 Italy ............... 100 99 72 108 124 148 194 Western Ger fcg. many . 100 114 35 93 117 150 213 Japan............... 100 169 *231 51 101 115 173 239 * Data for 1944. These stat istics show that in a quarter of a century, or, to be more exact, in 26 years, the Soviet Union increased its industrial output more than 20-fold, despite the tre­ mendous damage done to its national economy by the war. Meanwhile, the United States, which enjoyed excep­ tionally favourable conditions, was able to do little more than double its production, while industry in the capital­ ist world as a whole failed to register even that growth. The People’s Democracies have also considerably sur­ passed the capitalist countries in rate of growth of indus­ trial production. Last year the pre-war level of industrial output was exceeded in Poland more than four times, in Bulgaria more than five times, in Czechoslovakia more than two times, in Hungary three and a half times, in Ru­ mania almost three times, in Albania more than 11 times, and in the German Democratic Republic more than two times. The People’s Republic of China, which began to build socialism later than the others, has made outstanding progress: its industrial output is more than double the pre­ war maximum and more than four times the 1949 figure. Much has also been achieved

  • PERSA Working Paper No. 37
    Planning the Soviet Defense Industry: the Late 1920s and 1930s Andrei Markevich Moscow State University PERSA Working Paper No. 37 Political Department of Economics Economy Research in Soviet Archives Version: 7 November 2004 Available from www.warwick.ac.uk/go/persa. Planning the Soviet Defense Industry: the Late 1920s and 1930s* Andrei Markevich† Open Lyceum, All Russian External Multi-Disciplinary School, Moscow State University Abstract The paper describes the procedures for planning the Soviet defense industry in the interwar period and analyses its limitations. Three features differentiated the planning of the defense industry from that of the civilian economy. First, the supply of national defense in the broadest sense had high priority and received the close attention of the country’s top leadership. Second, the process of military and economic planning for defense that created the context of defense industry plans had a strongly forward-looking character and generated increasing demands through the interwar years. Third, the detailed planning of defense industry was carried on simultaneously in two separate bureaucracies, a military hierarchy preoccupied with formulating demands and an industrial hierarchy the task of which was to organize supply; planners made strenuous efforts to reconcile supplies and demands in the defense industry, and met with limited success. * This paper contributes to research on the political economy of the Soviet Union under Stalin funded by the Hoover Institution (principal investigator, Paul Gregory). † Thanks to Paul Gregory and Mark Harrison for advice and comments; I am responsible for remaining errors.

  • Editorial Revolution in Ethiopia: 15 Years on
    Editorial Revolution in Ethiopia: 15 Years on .. As it rounds off its fifteenth year, the revolution in Ethiopia appears to have completed a distinct phase with the institutionalisation of the regime that came to power in 1974. Military rule has been supplemented, though not supplanted, with the Workers' Party of Ethiopia (WPE), founded in 1984, whose prescribed role is to be 'the guiding force of the state and the entire society'. The state itself, renamed the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, was given a constitution in 1987, in which the dominant role of the Party is enshrined. Considerable care and time were given to fashioning these institutions, and much effort expended in mobilising popular involvement in the process. The obvious intention was to draw the curtain on the previous phase, marked by military rule, lawlessness and violence, and to usher in a period of 'socialist construction' under the aegis of the WPE. Christopher Clapham completed a study of Ethiopia just as the process of institutionalisation neared its end (Transformation and Continuity in Revolutionary Ethiopia). It is the first detailed study of the regime, and his article in this issue offers a concise description of it, as well as his assessment of its strengths and weaknessnes. While he gives little credit to the regime's Marxist ideological assertions, viewing them essentially as instrumental to the purpose of mass mobilisation and organisation, he is impressed with the strength and organisational capacity of the state, which has been able to make its authority felt directly at the base of society — though not everywhere in the country — for the first time in Ethiopian history.
