Synopsis

Examining Russia’s wartime and postwar economy, this book reveals how policy, transport failures, and price shifts shaped daily life. It provides a clear, data‑driven view of how the Bolsheviks reshaped production, distribution, and finances in a country exhausted by war and revolution.

This edition frames the rise and limits of nationalization, the strain on railways and water transport, and the challenges of feeding cities while rebuilding an economy. It uses period statistics to illustrate the gaps between official plans and real conditions, helping readers understand the immediate aftermath of 1917 and the subsequent Soviet policy environment.


  • How government decisions affected finances, currency, and borrowing during and after the war.

  • The disintegration of transport networks and its impact on industry and daily life.

  • The push toward nationalization and the state’s role in production and distribution.

  • Living conditions, wages, prices, and the real purchasing power of ordinary workers.



Ideal for readers of economic history and policy analysis who want a grounded view of early Soviet economic life and its challenges.
