Summary/Abstract: The paper is a retrospective presentation of the work of Nikolai Alekseevich Voznesensky – an economist, scientist and economic activist who was notable for his work on the law of value, market and profit in socialism. Тhis work examines the significance of its impact on the economy of the Soviet Union before and especially during the Second World War. The paper presents the quantifiers of the development of the Soviet Union before the war, and data that are significant for the course of the war and the Soviet victory. Voznesensky as an economic expert and a state official was a key figure in the evacuation of the Soviet economy and its reestablishment for the purpose of national defense and the final victory over the German aggressors. His great merit for the final victory of the Soviet Union is undeniable, perhaps even crucial. Although undoubtedly meritorious, he underwent repression and was executed under unclear circumstances circumstances. Although he was a Marxist economist with socialist views of economic activity, Voznesensky is unjustly neglected figure in the history of the world economy and economic thought.
