Summary/Abstract: Any attempt to make a research on our society’s command economy in its various fields can help our management develop analytical approach and implement a liberal economy type.The important observations are:At the end of the 20s New Economic Policy (NEP,) that was characterized by its liberal management of economic processes and some elements of marketing economy, was replaced by command economy with its directive and voluntaristic approach and noneconomic methods of national economy management.Later in the 30s for a long period the economy of the Soviet Union went back to the policy of “military communism” which was based on the regression of commodity-money relations, dry administration and compulsion. “Great Leap” in heavy industry during the years of industrialization caused serious disruption, disorganization and considerable complications in the economic development, including railway transport and other areas of national economy.
