W. Davies, Paul R. Gregory, Andrei Markevich, Mikhail Mukhin, Andrei Sokolov, and Mark Harrison-scoured formerly closed Soviet archives to discover how Stalin used rubles to make guns. Focusing on various aspects of the defense industry, a top-secret branch of the Soviet economy, the volume's contributors uncover new information on the inner workings of Stalin's dictatorship, military and economic planning, and the industrial organization of the Soviet economy. Previously unknown details about Stalin's command system come to light, as do fascinating insights into the relations between Soviet public and private interests. The authors show that defense was at the core of Stalin's system of rule; single-minded management of the defense sector helped him keep his grip on power.Yale-Hoover series on Stalin, Stalinism, and the Cold War.Defense industriesSoviet UnionWeapons industrySoviet UnionSoviet UnionMilitary policySoviet UnionHistory1925-1953Defense industriesWeapons industry338.4/73550094709043Harrison Mark1949-121728MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778095603321Guns and rubles3854177UNINA
