In Latvia, a book was published about how the Latvian SSR "fed the entire Union"

Informational portal Delphi Publishes excerpts from the next “economic and analytical” work of the Latvian “experts” who decided to calculate how much the Latvian SSR earned during its existence and how much “gave to Moscow”. The book in question is called “History national economy of Latvia ". It is noted that this publication is positioned as "the largest research project since the beginning of 90-s."

The main author of the “labor” is the rector of the Vidzeme High School Gatis Krumins.

In the course of numerous mental operations and the study of documents that benefit only the current Latvian authorities, the authors of the book announced that in the period from 1960 to 1985 the Latvian SSR paid 28,5 billion rubles to the All-Union budget, and received from Moscow only 15,5. The authors claim:

The net profit of the Soviet budget from the exploitation of the Latvian economy amounted to 13 billion rubles.

At the same time, it is added that in the 40s and 50s, the all-union budget completely “took” from Latvia about 75% of all revenues.

The authors report that the Latvian economy for decades in the USSR economy showed steady growth, and Moscow "used this and all the funds received by Riga as a result of the growth actually removed the Latvian SSR from the economy".

From book:

The Latvian budget largely lost its independence and was part of the USSR budget, which created the illusion of supposedly feeding the Latvian economy from the All-Union budget. Despite this, Latvia was able to become the most economically developed republic of the Soviet Union, ensuring the highest GDP growth.

Created an illusion? If so, why are things bad now in independent Latvia with industrial growth? Where is even the "illusion"? ..

Such conclusions clearly appealed to the customers of the “opus” about how the Latvian SSR “fed the whole Union”, but in fact the things stated in the book do not hold water. It does not stand up, if only because the main thing is not taken into account: from where did the Latvian SSR receive gigantic investments in the creation of a wide network of infrastructure and a number of large industrial enterprises, including automotive enterprises, factories for the production of electronics, perfumery, fish, meat and canned milk , ports, stations, air harbors?

The authors of the book are trying to present information in such a way as if the provincial capital at the time of the 40-s, Latvia created all this with some of its own funds, and then its economy began to grow ...

The book is aimed at another attempt to present the Soviet period in the life of the republic only from a negative position, but the attempt once again looks extremely unprofessional.

Yes, you’re right, the money allotted by EUROPE for joining a European family ends and now LATVIA is faced with the question of what kind of bumps to live on ... the easiest way to extort a neighbor by accusing him of all sins ... well, we already went through that ...
and we can bring them a counterclaim with a huge amount.

[kirieeleyson]

If you look closely at the system of power in these small countries, you can see that the main political family has thinned out a bit after "successful" integration, and now this polit beau monde is based on old cadres who relay cases to relatively young receivers. These receivers will face a cruel choice - to change or break the existing order based on Russophobia in order to at least somehow stay afloat in the 20s.

If only that.
I will give the numbers.
Russia in 1987 produced 1000 dollars per year per capita -
17,5. Consumed - 11.8
Accordingly: Belarus - 16.9 and 12; Ukraine - 13.1 and 14.7; Uzbekistan - 6,7 and 18; Lithuania - 15. 6 and 26.1; Latvia - 17.7 and 21.7; Estonia - 16.9 and 28.2; Georgia - 11.9 and 35.3; Armenia - 10.9 and 30;
Well and so on in all republics.
Only Russia and Belarus produced more than they consumed. The rest were parasites.

"Only Russia and Belarus produced more than they consumed" ///

Produced - what? Continuous military industry. Which does not bring profit,
as you know (if you do not sell products abroad).
And civilian production and consumer goods, which makes a profit, are just
was plentiful in the union republics. But their volume in comparison with the military commissar
was small. Hence the numbers.

[Monarchist]

Warrior wow, and TVs: Record, Quartz, Falcon, washing machines in Omsk were also assembled by sewing machines: Podolsk, Ordzhonikidze and refrigerators. Do not remember

Funny.
Is agriculture also "plentiful in the union republics"? :)
GAZ, VAZ, ZIL, AZLK, Izh. This is only for the civilian automobile industry offhand, there were more.
Aircraft factories (construction, not repair and not experienced) are easier to list those that were outside the RSFSR. Tashkent and Kharkov. The rest is in the RSFSR.
Aircraft engine plants outside the RSFSR: Zaporozhye.
Well, and so on for civilian products.
Well, and, most importantly, all this was built on common Allied money. Before the Second World War, there was nothing sensible in the same Baltic. Neither auto, nor air, nor radio. This is probably a coincidence.
By the way, the most powerful design bureau in Ukraine appeared solely due to the fact that Antonov personally was not very comfortable in Moscow and he preferred Kiev: he did not want to constantly share the production base of Moscow with Tupolev and the rest.

[Zaurbek]

In the next occupation, all the Baltic states fell to Siberia in the forest or began to melt in Magnitogorsk. And how to populate Kaliningrad with citizens of the Russian Federation.

[Alex_Tug]

In the next occupation, all the Baltic states fell to Siberia in the forest or began to melt in Magnitogorsk.

Why occupy them? Do we need their farm? Soon there will be nothing left.

[Zaurbek]

And the last time, why were they occupied?

[Alex_Tug]

If to the very origins, then Peter 1 bought the Baltic states. If before the Second World War, they were not occupied. The USSR and Germany divided Europe so that they ended up in the USSR.

[Zaurbek]

History develops in a spiral .... Peter bought after the war with the Swedes ... why he bought it is not clear until now if he won the war.

[Serg662]

And in the past and the year before last - is this excuse me when?

From where, from where, the thing from the camel is clear.

If so, then why are things bad with industrial growth in independent Latvia now?

The camel is gone.

[Machete]

Even write something there is no desire on this topic.
If everything was bad during the occupation of the USSR, then what then do they have now in the rich EU?
Okay, wretched not to interpret.

[kolyhalovs]

In fact, this is the most fertile ground for the collapse of the country. Not only Latvia, but also Ukraine and other republics and, which is also important, the RSFSR had such separatist inclinations. In short - "stop feeding freeloaders." Well, the hands say that they bring food to the mouth, mouth, that he chews it, legs, that they are finally able to drag the whole body on to the kitchen, let's get to hell and then we will heal. AHA, SAME. And with all this, such alternatively gifted statements continue to find support today. In Siberia, for example. Yes, I think wherever there are alternatively gifted people.

Well, this work of Latvian scientists is just an agitation, so that, alternatively gifted, God forbid, do not think about what you did. Latvians (or whatever? Latvians?), You no longer feed the parasites - rejoice !!!

[Thunderbolt]

Here is such a "Rigonda" used to be. It used to be ... but now nothing is needed.
Although the Baltic experts themselves admit that if the West turns away from them, then integration into the old world for them will take three years for natural reasons.
And so ... well, what can we expect from them now? What will they write now that the Baltic states were a paradise during the Union era? Now it doesn’t send taxes to Moscow and has it become richer? Nothing of the kind! And the Russians are to blame too, but it is expected.)))

[Machete]

If the west turns away from them, then there will be nothing to eat.
I can’t say for sure, but subsidies from the EU to the Baltic States make up a normal percentage of the budget.
They are so afraid of fire.

[Rabinowicz]

Eh ... I love such things. A lot of memories. Expensive things for those times.
We recently had this kind of `` Cantata-204 ''

The quality is of course disgusting, it broke very often. Especially the part where the records were played. In the USSR, almost all household appliances were copies from the West.

[Svarog51]

And what can be broken there? The player panel is metal and 5 wires go to it, 3 to the engine and 2 from the pickup. I repaired such "on my knee", you need a screwdriver and a nipple from any sewing machine. The pickup needle there is plastic, double-sided. It was sold in any radio products - not a shortage. The main thing is that the receiver with the amplifier is operational, so they are tube. Lamps are easier to change than solder transistors. Something like this.

[Rabinowicz]

The engine was constantly burning, and the entire part associated with the rotation of the disk. The receiver itself did not work badly, it caught the signal well. Even foreign stations, if you connect an antenna

[Svarog51]

Yes, yes, that’s why you need an oiler. When it was not turned on for a long time, the oil in the engine bushings froze and coked. They turned on the power, but the engine could not crank and burned. If you turn it on at least once or twice a month, then everything worked as it should.

[Rabinowicz]

Nobody understood our electronics. The masters called. I remember that I only bought needles for records, so I changed them myself.
I also remember the bulbs always burned out, which highlighted the scale where the waves are.

[Svarog51]

Eh, youth as you recall. I came to my brother in Gelendzhik in the 80th, and he has the same Cantata-204. Renovated and we with him Genghis Khan and ABBU turned in the evenings.

There was also "Speedola" "voices" to listen to. And the first washing machine our family bought was Riga-8. Father brought from Latvia

[screw cutter]

Here, some argue that everything Soviet is a copy of the western, but the S-90 (in the picture) sounded much better than the western ones. How do you understand this? Or is the copy better than the original?

[Svarog51]

S-90 is not a copy, but its own development. And in the photo one of the latest versions with two filters. They began to compare them with Western consumer goods, but this is somewhat incorrect, the class is not the same. I also had such. Thing!

[Rabinowicz]

Always wanted such speakers.

It is difficult now with this, but sometimes you can find it in the commission rooms, there would be a desire.

It is a pity that production has been lost, but if they were released now, they could compete with eminent brands.

Quoted "Electronics", "Radio Engineering" was considered not very reliable. And the columns in the photo are generally top class. No need to import. And now it’s better than many. Only the design is out of date.

If this is a photo from that book, then they also offended Armenia-Erasik was stolen from them!

[Zaurbek]

vice versa. This is the RAF at Victory units. Then they switched to the new RAF on GAZ-24 units. And they transferred it to Armenia, but the build quality was no longer right, and it was unrealistic to drive a new car from Armenia to the RSFSR on its own without arrival at the service station.

[sabakina]

I know, it was just a joke of humor. By the way, RAFik was a good car, comfortable, soft. Only the suspension from the Volga was rather weak for him.

[Zaurbek]

I haven’t found such RAFs already, and I rode a passenger on YerAZ.

[_my opinion]

In Latvia, a book was published about how the Latvian SSR "fed the entire Union"

But what about other Baltic countries lagging behind Latvia? let them release the same
books
I wonder what the circulation of the book is and how it is sold out, if at all.

[Smog]

How did Latvia feed ???? What the hell?
Chet I became confused. So who did the Union feed? Latvians or Raguli ??? misunderstanding, however. Well, let them first figure out in The Hague, in court, who “fed” more, and only then they speak and write.
And Nenko needs the Baltic tiger to protest that the palm is being taken away.

So what is incomprehensible? Puppeteers fed us, and these provided us with production, because the quilted jackets do not know how and do not want to do anything. We have cabbage soup, and they have borsch and sprats, and therefore we are backward. The logic is quite familiar - the absence of any logic. They said correctly above. It is necessary to file a lawsuit against all these nonsense - how much they got from the USSR, and we took all the debts. Calculate the cost of factories, weapons and demand - let them choke. You look to stop borzet.

Well, if it’s really how the Latvians write in their “works”, then according to the logic of things, we should observe Latvia, freed from the “oppression of the USSR”, as an economically powerful state, of the level of Germany and England combined — a kind of “locomotive” of Europe, to the country which the best young cadres from Germany, England, France, the USA finally seek to come to work and with the aim of enhancing their careers. But is it really so?

Before entering the USSR:

In the Estonian industry in the 30s, 17,5% of the country's workforce was employed, in Latvia - 13,5%, in Lithuania - 6%. By 1938, the manufacturing industry in Latvia was only 56% of the 1913 level.

Entered the composition, and the tram-pam-pam! RSFSR how to start milking! Already, Estonia became the first in the Union for investments per capita and Latvia jumped to 40th place in GDP per capita in the world.
And here he is a sweet moment of freedom! We’ll panz right now!
Suddenly, immediately after self-determination (the decision to quit was made by an unconstitutional body, if that), the economy collapsed in Latvia by more than 50%. How so? Russia "quitrent" stopped taking, where is the money, Zin?
And today almost a fifth of the GDP of the small and “terribly rich” Baltic countries is EU subsidies. I’ll keep silent about demography, about the deceased (and all who have successfully blamed) either well or ... And then the prospects are not encouraging at all since 2017 by 28% of the EU the subsidized content is cut, the voice in the head interferes with normal trading with Russia ... and ... the figures that I indicated at the very beginning as of 1930 are getting closer and closer.
Maybe that's why they rave and dream that at least someone would again occupy them and raise the economy?

[Moor]

complete crap! maybe they also dug up the Baltic Sea?

Only Ukrainians know how to dig the seas, and Livonians only flaunted in the commissars, and now our brains are being powdered.

That is, Latvia fed both Estonia and Lithuania? And so are all the other republics of the USSR? Let then demand compensation not only from Russia.

Similar messages should be translated into a separate topic - “Humor”. We must pay tribute to the “researchers”; they had to work so hard to come up with such a thing. So you can.........

I remembered reading the article on the account and even saved it:
An anniversary meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society took place in St. Petersburg.

The chairman of the board of trustees, a world-famous scientist and multiple winner of the title “Geographer of the Year” according to the scientific magazine “TIME”, delivered a speech.

– Dear colleagues, good afternoon!

(applause in the audience)

– I welcome all participants in the next Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society. This year the Russian Geographical Society turns 170 years old. And it is joyful that in the anniversary year we are meeting in Russia, despite all the numerous attempts of various foreign geographers, travelers and researchers to prove to us that geographically we are in Sweden, then in France, then in Germany. As you know, all their scientific theories were smashed to smithereens.

Geography has always been respected in our country. It is enough to recall the famous Russian geographer and traveler Peter the Great, who always brought a lot of interesting things from his expeditions to the wild places — a sheep with four eyes, then Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, or other unusual artifacts.

But the scientific thought of our Western colleagues is not asleep, and we already see attempts by American geographers to prove that Russia is a natural geographical continuation of the District of Columbia.

For discussion on this, of course, curious theory, we, on the basis of our geographical society, created the VKS - the All-Russian Cartographic Community a year ago. Despite its relatively young age, during a field event, together with the Syrian Academy of Sciences, it was able to convincingly prove to American, Turkish and Saudi cartographers that their contour map of the Syrian plateau sinned with annoying inaccuracies. But to stop there, of course, is impossible.

(applause in the audience)

- Geography, without any doubt, and we have also repeatedly spoken about this, this is one of the most important modern scientific disciplines. We see with what enormous efforts our Western colleagues are making to study our planet. These are hundreds of research bases in all corners of the world, these are numerous expeditions to Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and other regions of the planet, which, according to Western scientists, are poorly studied.

They conduct a lot of scientific work in Ukraine, starting with the study of shale formations and chernozem and ending with the selection of breeds of local horses.

It is important for us to make special emphasis on the study of the natural heritage of Russia itself.

And we already have experience of such events. So, two years ago, we started the restoration of the regional headquarters of our geographical society in Crimea, which was founded under Catherine the Great. Arctic studies are in full swing, and scientific towns are being built. The open spaces of the Arctic Ocean are furrowed by the research submarine cruisers “Academician Yuri Dolgoruky”, “Professor Vladimir Monomakh” and other ships of the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, equipped with the most advanced scientific equipment. There are plans to study Russian Alaska and Russian California.

(applause in the audience)

- Special thanks to our scientists, researchers and educators. So, our high-altitude educators 96L6E, standing at the S-300 and S-400 meteorological stations, can enlighten anything and anyone within a radius of three hundred kilometers, and have already received the highest ratings from both domestic and foreign meteorologists.

“But we need to steadily increase the professionalism of our young scientists.” For example, just yesterday ... A glaring case, I think. A young inquisitive weather forecaster assembled a makeshift Su-27 in his garage and made a dangerous and unprofessional flight over the Baltic Sea in order to find out if it will rain in St. Petersburg tomorrow? As a result, he found himself next to the American RC-135 aircraft, which was engaged in peaceful scientific work, making a detailed map of the location of the Marine Corps Academgorodok in the Kaliningrad Region.

The weather forecaster waved his silver wing, turned the plane dangerously and unprofessionally 360 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis while maintaining the direction of flight to the chosen cloud, and disappeared, finally informing the American partners that it was a cloud, cloud, cloud, and not the Su-27 at all.

Four professional RC-135 pilots and sixteen geographers aboard it were forced to immediately interrupt their scientific research, return to base and seek the help of professional psychotherapists who had just finished the next reception of sailors from the destroyer Donald Cook with their already professional, Sukhoi stupor disease.

(sympathetic sighs in the audience)

- This is already in no framework, I think. I want to contact my esteemed colleague, Professor Sergei Kuzhugetovich. It seems to me that you need to draw conclusions from this case at the scientific council. Firstly, explain to the young weather forecaster that it always rains in St. Petersburg, and secondly, give him, in the end, a more modern airplane so that the next time our Western colleagues would have time to think: “Here the bullet flew and yeah ", But wouldn’t have lived so painfully for such a trifling reason.

(approving hum in the audience)

- In conclusion, I want to say. Of course, we have where to grow in matters of aeronautics. We do not know how to drop military equipment from a height of two kilometers without parachutes, as the US airborne brigade recently professionally demonstrated to us.

We do not know how to get to hospitals with a hundred percent accuracy during bombing.

We do not know how to shoot compelling clips about stools that fly beautifully into the sunset.

We don’t know how much.

Because we are ordinary geographers, cartographers, weather forecasters, geologists and just not indifferent local historians.

And I want to express my gratitude to everyone who today supports the Russian Geographical Society.

Thank you for attention.

This is the RAF on Pobeda units. Then we switched to the new RAF on GAZ-24 units

We made a little mistake: the RAF was first based on the GAZ-21 Volga, then the new RAF based on the GAZ-24

Here one idiot said that the Germans raised the industry of Latvia! Through the labor of prisoners of war and the transfer of enterprises from Germany!!! And he didn’t say a word, why did the Germans do all this!!! And who created the German prisoners of war......................

By the way, the most powerful design bureau in Ukraine appeared solely due to the fact that Antonov personally was not very comfortable in Moscow and he preferred Kyiv: he did not want to constantly share Moscow’s production base with Tupolev and the others.[/quote]
It’s not that he wanted to, he was transferred.... Here the UVZ design bureau, headed by Morozov, which consisted mainly of Kharkov residents, after the war independently smoothly flowed back to Kharkov, so as a result they had to be officially transferred there. And in Zaporozhye, everyone knows, they make Klimovsky, that is, Leningrad, that is, motors.
By the way, from Riga, the RVZ Design Bureau, which designed electric trains, moved to the Moscow region, to Demikhovo, back in the 1990s. True, they were recently dispersed and reassembled from other people - they did not provide modern designs, they exploited the Soviet heritage.

No, aviation historians are inclined to the general opinion that OKA asked for it himself. But, of course, he had patrons and they “helped.”

Quote: Monarchist

Comrades, do not even waste time discussing this nonsense ..
If my memory serves me in Latvia for the summer of 1939, there was only a VEF enterprise and 2-3 semi-artisan fish processing workshops.
If the Union “strangled” them, then where are the flagships of the Latvian SSR now: RAF, WEF plants? Under the Union, everyone knew the VEF Speedola receiver (we have a man living along the street and he has several receivers in his barn and there is Speedola)

But on the territory of the provinces of the Russian Empire, which later made up this very Latvia, in 1914 there were many industrial enterprises. And RBVZ (Russian-Baltic Carriage Works), and shipyards, and the port in Libau, and many, many other things. The famous Russo-Balt cars were made there. By 1939, all this had either closed and collapsed, or had sunk to the level of small workshops. History repeated itself.

[Monarchist]

Comrade Gonchar, it seems about 12-13 years old in the magazine “Technology of Youth” (I enjoyed reading “Around the World” and his) or “Behind the Wheel” it was said that with the beginning of it the RBVZ plant was evacuated to Moscow and together with the factory of some merchant served as the basis for ZiS, but in general you can check what kind of industry they had in 1939

It looks like opium supplies have begun not only to Ukraine, but also to Latvia! Ukraine dug up the sea, what did Latvia dug up?

What did Latvia dig up?

Baltic Sea, probably.
