Abstract

One of the leading representatives of the liberal current in economics of the 1920s and 1930s, B.D. Brutskus gained wide recognition as a penetrating researcher into the Soviet economy. This article examines his assessment of the agrarian policies of the Bolsheviks in the first years of the Soviet state and his criticism of “War Communism” policies, and analyzes his articles published in the most popular Russian émigré journal Sovremennye Zapiski (Contemporary Papers), criticizing Soviet planning and Stalinist industrialization and collectivization. It also notes the milestones of Brutskus’ life, with a detailed description of how his arrest and deportation was arranged. In addition, the article covers his rejection of not only socialism, but extreme forms of economic liberalism, and details the fate of B.D. Brutskus’ creative legacy in the USSR and post-Soviet Russia.
