  1. I recently saw a Russian’s vlog where he’s reporting that they’re bringing back GOSPLAN, the agency for centralized economic planning. Sounds like the U.S.S.R. to me.

  2.  @CollectiveDefence  Yes. GOSPLAN was originally (1921) constituted as an advisory board to plan Lenin’s implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP) which was more or less a set of liberal market based reforms. As a side note, this was a bone of contention between Trotsky and Stalin, with Trotsky representing more radical views contrary to Leninism. Stalin continued Lenin’s economic policies until 1928, when he broke from Lenin’s NEP and, under GOSPLAN’s interventions, began the collectivization of Soviet agriculture, industry, and the beginning of forced labor as an economic prop. Under Stalin, GOSPLAN created the infamous 5-Year Plan and its quota system. You might already be aware of the resulting deaths from GOSPLAN’s collectivization efforts, including the notorious Holodomor Ukraine, but not limited to it. You might also be aware of GOSPLAN’s reliance on GULAG to meet the Five Year Plan quotas, a reliance that led to ever greater repressions under Stalin to feed more bodies into the forced labor system. This is my concern about the rumor that GOSPLAN is being reactivated as Russia moves to a “militarized” economy. It goes hand and hand with the formation of a totalitarian society from an authoritarian one.
