WiP: “Plan and Market in the Soviet Economy”

The essence of the Soviet economy is one of the central issues in contemporary historiography. Even if scholars do not address this problem directly, they still engage in the debates by using certain terminology to define the Soviet economy.

WiP: “From the Black Sea Coast to the World. Maritime Approaches to Soviet Georgian History”

In 1967, the Soviet People’s Ministry of Merchant Marine decided to decentralize the merchant fleet and give every coastal republic its own ministry and maritime infrastructure. This was the birth of a Soviet success story, as within less than 10 years, the merchant fleet became the third strongest after the American and British ones.
