ussr

was effectivelly

an autarky

yes

not quite

Not really

they where not even touched

by stock crisis

in 1930s

every warsaw pact country had some specific job and they traded

internally

Lend lease was absolutely necessary for radios and motorization

yes that is why western economists were fascinated about USSR

im talking before warszaw pact

and implemented planning very often

And they were near collapse at some point because of food

that was 15 years later

well after death of stalin everything started degrading

we talk about 1928

The USSR had heavy international trade during Lenin and early Stalin

having trade isn't reliance

they invited foreign industrial corporations yea

but it accounted to sosme

they could not trade and it would not collapse them

They needed enterprise and an inflow of capital

just weaken

10%

yeah well lenin recognised shit didnt work until they enacted the new economy

of their industrial build up

<:tuxpepe:795758710890299464>

and they mainly needed their tech

but really could you stop comparing that stuff to today. our economies aren't heavily reliant on industrial production anymore

sadly

that's bs

cause we use

cheap foreign labour

in china

I'll say that the Soviet Union on paper was self sufficient on food until Krushchev (wartime aside)
