Abstract:

Heritage Foundation E.L. Wiegand Fellow Leonid M. Grigoriev and fellow Soviet economists Olga V. Ivanova and Sergei A. Nikolaenko constructed these graphs in Moscow. This is the first time these graphs have been published. They demonstrate vividly the economic challenges ahead for the democratic reformers in the republics of the Soviet Union.
