Title: Labour, Property and Economic Freedoms in Concepts and Soviet Realities
Abstract: The paper touches upon the key issues of economic theory such as the problems of ownership of the means of production and the product produced, labour and labour relations, as well as socio-economic inequality as presented in the research paradigm of the famous political economist Ya.A. Kronrod, which are also applied to the Soviet practices of etatisation.Relationships between these concepts are established.The reflection of the factor of etatisation in the "classical" model of Stalinist socialism, as well as the evolution of the role of this determinant in the conditions of Khrushchev's democratisation, are shown.It is concluded that the retained etatisation of property, production and labour relations, as well as etatisation of labour in general, in the face of new challenges in the transforming economy, gradually led to the collapse of the Soviet system.
