Abstract
HIGHLY compressed, a paper of twenty-seven pages is nevertheless the only comprehensive statement available to the student of industrial output within the Soviet Union during and since the Second World War ("Industrial Development in the U.S.S.R.". Bull. 1 (May 1949). Bulletins on Soviet Economic Development, Faculty o Commerce and Social Science, University of Birmmgham). It has become obvious that until similar schools of economic inquiry mature the authority of the Department of Economics and Institutions of the U.S.S.R. under Dr. A. Baykov remains unchallenged in its field. Hitherto, Soviet statisticsof economic output have been considered unreliable; but the standing of Dr. Baykov as interpreter, inevitably enhanced by the high quality of this Bulletin, now provides a standard to which we may confidently appeal.
