Based on hitherto unused Russian and Western archives, he examines an extraordinary decision made in March 1920 to import vast quantities of railway equipment. The book argues that under War Communism and the NEP railway modernization was vital to a strategy of rapid economic modernization, and provides the first detailed case study of the government's import policy. Following the histories of the principal contracts, it analyses Soviet foreign trade as a means to tackle domestic economic challenges. This book provides readers with a new perspective on Soviet economic development, and reveals the scale of Bolshevik business dealings with the capitalist West immediately after the Revolution. 410 0$aCambridge Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet studies ;$v105. 606 $aRailroads$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aRailroads and state$zSoviet Union 606 $aRailroads$zSoviet Union$xEquipment and supplies 607 $aSoviet Union$xEconomic policy 607 $aSoviet Union$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRailroads$xHistory. 615 0$aRailroads and state 615 0$aRailroads$xEquipment and supplies. 676 $a385/.0947 700 $aHeywood$b Anthony$0870074 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454818203321 996 $aModernising Lenin's Russia$92477853 997 $aUNINA
