English Translation

- 13 II. The Russian industry. a) Development- Before the war, Russia was a pronounced agricultural country with a primitive extraction of raw materials. As far as the industry itself is concerned, for example, there was not a single auto-möbilfabrik and in general the construction of machinery was almost completely unknown. Only the light industry was more developed. When the Soviets took power, Le-nin felt that it was impossible to make progress without the help of the foreign authorities. He therefore began with the policy of foreign concessions, which was supplemented by the NEP in the country after the end of the so-called war communism, which completely ruined the country. The NEP policy had a fairly successful one, covering the fact that an entrepreneur in a NEP or concession operation was towering over a red director when there was competition between a privately run and a nationalized company. b) Against- After Lenin's death, when in 1925 the pre-war propositions were reached: Stalin was reached, the Russian Indu Trotsky stood before the Prague, which was to take further development. The NEP path would have led to an increasingly growing private industry. Thus, it was inconceivable for the rulers in the Kremlin.
