Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2017
Extract
Information on Soviet public finances after the start of the war is scant. However, the Union budget approved by the Supreme Soviet in its session of February 26–March 1, 1941, gives us a clue as to how the financing of the present war would be met. As it will be seen later on, the budget approved in that session is actually a war-time budget.
