I agree

wasnt the tsarist state only interested in war production and transport

tsarist economy was simply a failure

tsarist economy was total chaos

you can't argue with it

laissez-faire

ww1

listen i read japanese work on soviet economics

that's mainsteam bullshit

say

tsar was a fucker and couldn't develop russia

he was hands off

so it's kinda common knowledge
