The state of the trade cooperation in Siberia in 1926-1929 is described in the article. Such aspects as organizational building, economic development and regional specificity in the context of the transformation of associations of small industrial producers into an independent cooperative system is analyzed. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of the emergence and priority areas of activity of the Siberian Trading Union. The relevance of the study is due both to the ongoing discussion about the assessment of the state of industrial cooperation on the eve of the “great turning point”, as well as its scale and role in the development of the region. The author formulates her own approach to assess the socio-economic processes in small-scale industrial production. It is concluded that the overall result of the organizational and economic development of the Siberian trading cooperation in recent years of the new economic policy was its transformation into a force that could influence the further development of associations of handicraftsmen and artisans, but protectionist measures increased the dependence of artels on state bodies in terms of financing. supply, sales organization and created the prerequisites for the nationalization of the industrial cooperation of Siberia. The main sources of work were materials from the funds of the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the State Archives of the Novosibirsk Region, the State Archives of the Altai Territory, some of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Inland Water Transport

The article highlights the specific features of implementing the new economic policy in the seaports of the USSR. The general laws of economic development of the commercial sea ports during the NEP period have been formulated. Statistical data on port capacity from the UK, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA, and France were used for the first time, and an assessment of the economic development of domestic sea ports was made in comparison with the above countries. It was stated that the drop in cargo turnover of the Soviet ports in relation to 1913 was the most significant, and the post-war restoration was slower in comparison with European ports, with the railway and inland water transport of the USSR. It was proved that the decrease in port turnover in the USSR was a consequence of a decrease in the foreign trade volume and short sea shipping. Maintaining the state monopoly of foreign trade, which in the NEP period transformed into the state capitalism, negatively affected outward and inward trade. The intensity of coastal shipping service grew slowly due to the low specialization of the regions. The seaport management system was studied; its centralization and similarity with the port management system of the Russian Empire were stated. There have been presented the study results of property relations in seaports. It was determined that the landowners in the ports were state departments represented by central ministries (people's commissariats), the owners of other property were state and sectorial governmental bodies, joint-stock companies with a predominance of state ownership. Sea trade ports were funded from the budget of the People's Commissariat of Communication Means. Port financing was ten times less than financing of railways and several times less than inland water transport financing

Market Relations

If the market has emerged in current Soviet and Western discourse as a notional Rosetta stone capable of deciphering the coded blueprints of post-Soviet reconstruction, its apparent destruction by the Bolsheviks during the Civil War and subsequent resurrection under the New Economic Policy (NEP) is often seen as a similarly defining element of the whole early Soviet project. As many would have it, the party's initial urge to control entirely the whole complex of economic exchange relations firmly situates Soviet totalitarianism in a Leninist political economy. The brutal repression of free traders and the mindless nationalization of production clearly evidences the calamitous utopianism of Bolshevik class-based ideology, while the reemergence after 1921 of limited market mechanisms, even if only a reluctant concession to political weakness and economic devastation, opened alternative paths to a non-Stalinist Soviet modernity involving elements of a civil social order. In a phrase, reified conceptions of the market broadly shape historical constructions of a unique and problematic Soviet past, just as they purportedly demonstrate what is peculiar about the post-Soviet present and necessary for the future.

The typewritten “Reporting Collection of Poems by the Group of Irkutsk Poets for 1921” is published for the first time in its entirety. This example of early Soviet literary “samizdat” represents the works of twelve members of the local literary association “The Barque of Poets” (Barka poetov): Sergei Arkadievich Alyakrinsky (1889–1938), Artur Ancharov (whose real name and fate remain unknown), Viktor Mikhailovich Blumenfeld (1897–1978), Alexander Ivanovich Venediktov (1896–1970), Mikhail Nikolaevich Gorin-Volkov, who wrote under the pseudonym “Imray” (1894–1942), Alexander Davidovich Meiselman (1900–1938), Nina Mikhailovna Podgorichany-Petrovich (1889–1964), Igor Kronidovich Slavnin (1898– 1925), Elpidifor Innokentyevich Titov (1896–1938), Leonid Dmitrievich Tyazhelov (1887–1936), Nina Pavlovna Shastina (1898–1980) and Nina Petrovna Komarova (1892 – after 1943), who wrote under the pseudonyms “Nibu” and “Khabias”. In addition to the “Reporting Collection...” itself, some accompanying materials are also published (a questionnaire for members of “The Barque...” and several poems on separate sheets). All these materials of the early Soviet “samizdat” were kept in private archive of Irkutsk professor Boleslav Sergeevich Shostakovich (1945–2015), and after his death they were transferred to the State Archives of the Irkutsk Region. The publication is provided with bio-bibliographic references about the authors of the “Reporting Collection...”, both brief (in the cases of such well-known poets as Igor Slavnin, Elpidifor Titov or Nina Khabias) and, if necessary, expanded.

Positive Role

The article investigates the possibilities of using the means of state regulation of the economy in modern Ukraine in the conditions of crisis phenomena and challenges. Among the most negative threats to the domestic economy are military aggression by Russia, the prevailing depressive business climate in the society, high levels of shadowing and corrupt schemes in economic activity, critical external debt, excessive scale and rate of loss of human capital, inconsistency of public administration and society's expectations, and in addition, the global pandemic COVID-19. The need to strengthen state influence on the domestic economy up to the use of certain elements of economic dictatorship has been clarified. The necessity of an economic dictatorship in Ukraine, i.e. the imposition of a state of economic emergency, is caused by a too long and devastating crisis that covers all spheres of society – economic, social and political and can lead to social upheaval. In the transition period, it would allow in a relatively short time to improve the structure of national production, which would contribute to its competitiveness, economic growth. After all, economic methods of state regulation and the use of market mechanisms aimed at changing the structure of production will give results only after a long period and will be accompanied by further growth of unemployment and declining economic indicators. The main tools of state influence on economic processes have been identified, namely: development of anti-crisis measures; strengthening the country's defense capabilities through the development of the military-industrial complex; forecasting and planning of economic development; control and influence on financial markets; fight against shadowing, corruption, negatives of oligarchization; control over foreign economic activity; guaranteeing the interests of external and internal investors; investing in the economy; development of various forms of public-private partnership; promoting the economic development of the regions of Ukraine. Emphasis has been placed on the positive role of centralized state regulation of the Ukrainian economy in the face of threats and challenges for the formation of civilized market relations. Tight economic policy of the state will allow directing the activities of all business structures in the legal field in order to form a real market. Only the state is able to unite the efforts of all branches of the state governance in order to develop and implement a new economic policy aimed at forming a market economy in the interests of society as a whole.

The paper focuses on the function of the market, economic policy and the public in dynamising economic progress and the arguments that support the claim that economics as a science, taken together with economic policy, has lost the attribute of moral science in our conditions. The dynamics of economic growth is not the only relevant macroscopic feature of economic development, although it has received dominant attention today. And that is not everything. Particular attention is drawn to structural, technological and other changes, the re-institutionalization and construction of an appropriate economic order and economic model and, above all, the state and realization of the moral imperatives of contemporary development. In addition to these issues, the paper addresses the challenges, directions and instruments of economic policy in our circumstances, which is of particular relevance to our better future.

The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the measures taken by the relevant Soviet authorities in the USSR during the period of the new economic policy (NEP) in order to eliminate the manifestations of organized crime. Objectives of the study: to determine the main causes of banditry and its manifestations in Soviet Ukraine in the NEP; to explore the ways and methods of struggle of the Soviet power against it. The methodological basis of the study are general scientific (logical, comparative), and special historical methods (problem-chronological). They allowed to determine this period, in which the problem of organized crime is studied specifically, in chronological and logical order. Comparative analysis was used to study individual phenomena of this process. The study is also based on the principles of scientificity, historicism and objectivity. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the manifestations of organized crime in Soviet Ukraine in 1921-1928 and ways to combat them was carried out. New archival documents on this issue and materials of periodicals of those years were put into scientific circulation. An attempt has been made to give an objective, unbiased assessment of these phenomena and the actions of the Soviet authorities in those years. Conclusions. The new economic policy of the Soviet state during the 1920's was implemented against the background of increasing manifestations of various social anomalies. The struggle against them took place in a difficult socio-economic situation in which the society found itself after the First World War. According to the analysis of the archival sources, the Soviet authorities attached great importance to these measures, and first of all to their termination. These problems were caused by various factors, but primarily by the destructive processes in society itself and the struggle of the Bolsheviks for the establishment of their power. This also applies to the events of the recent Civil War in the former Russian Empire and the state liberation struggle in Ukraine in 1917-1921. One of the main reasons for the growth of organized crime was a difficult economic situation caused by the effects of military communism. In the period under study, namely in the first half of the 1920's, the process of formation of the law enforcement system of the Soviet power took place. The main burden of responsibility for the state of the criminogenic situation in the country rested with the local police.

Drawing on archival materials from the State Archive of the Kirov Region and the State Archive of Social and Political History of the Kirov Region, the article analyzes attitudes to the New Economic Policy (NEP) in the party organizations of the RCP (B) of the Vyatka guberina in 1921. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that the author draws on archival documents to investigate the attitude of communists to the decision of the X Congress of the RCP (B) to replace surplus tax by tax in kind (prodnalog) and other measures for the development of the NEP in 1921. It turns out that party workers in position of responsibility and ordinary members of the party, as a rule, understood and perceived the NEP in their own way, reading into it the interests and needs of different social and professional groups. Moreover, there emerged some ideological differences due to different understanding of the political goals of the New Economic Policy. For the first time in local historiography, the author has introduced into scientific use some previously unknown archival facts. The analysis of the archival material allows the author to conclude that the attitude to the NEP of party workers in position of responsibility and of rank-and-file members differed. If the “top” of the party discussed the ideological aspects of the NEP, the “bottom” members, as a rule, were interested in its practical orientation. There was no unanimous support for the NEP not just among the responsible party workers, but also among the rank-and-file members. The author comes to the conclusion that the lack of clear understanding of the nature of the New Economic Policy caused disagreements in the party ranks, which, in absence of the tradition of broad discussion of controversial issues, was fraught with danger of a split. The Military Communism ideology and low literacy (including political one) that prevailed in the party ranks did not promote good understanding of the new party course and its creative application under specific regional conditions. Critics and open opponents of the NEP faced “organizational conclusions.”
