The project examined the mutual impact of Soviet state economic policy, development and structure in the years 1932-1940. In these years the economy developed rapidly after earlier investment and sacrifices. Growth was harmed by the Stalin terror-repressions of 1936-8, and by the need to increase military expenditure in view of the threat from Nazi Germany and Japan.

These tables on Soviet economic development in the 1930s are a product of ESRC Grant RES-000-22-1443, Soviet Economic Policy and Development from the XVII to the XVIII Party Congresses, 1934-1939. These tables are not intended to be comprehensive, but to supplement easily-available figures with data from the Russian archives and from published sources which are not easily accessible to the historian who does not know the Russian language.
