Soviet Regional Economics: Selected Works of Vsevolod Holubnychy
An incisive and prolific writer, Holubnychy had a wide range of interest that is reflected in this collection of essays: Ukrainian politics; Soviet regional economics, especially the position of Ukraine within the Soviet economic system; Marxist thought and its dissemination beyond Soviet borders; Soviet economic thought; and more specialized topics in economics. In addition to his scholarly contributions, Holubnychy examined current political events in the journal Vpered (Forward), a Ukrainian workers' newspaper in Munich, using a variety of pseudonyms and on occasion writing anonymously.
Of the nine essays included in this volume, three are published here for the first time: "The Agrarian Revolution in Ukraine"; "Marxography and Marxology"; and "V.V. Novozhilov's Theory of Value." The rest are among Holubnychy's finest works and are reprinted by permission. Throughout his life, the author remained a controversial figure in the Ukrainian emigration. As he was forthright and outspoken, his works engendered much discussion. This collection is a fine tribute to a talented and perceptive scholar whose analytical powers had few equals during his lifetime and have been sorely missed since his death.
This book also includes a bibliography of published works by Vsevolod Holubnychy (compiled by Osyp Danko). See Industry, Dolyna oil field, and Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

<em><strong>The Russian occupation of Ukraine under the tsarist and communist regimes exerted a decisive influence on the development of Ukrainian economics. The present collection of essays, written over a ten-year period, explores some of the pertinent issues. The 1917 Revolution can be taken as a logical dividing point for comparing the impact of the two different political and economic systems on the performance of Ukraine's economy and the welfare of its population. It appears that the effect of the Soviet regime was in general harmful to Ukraine. Relative to other Soviet republics, its economic growth was one of the lowest, and income per capita deteriorated. Despite the inferior performance of the Ukrainian economy, the Soviet regime continued year in and year out the unrequited transfer of part of Ukraine's national income to other regions of the USSR in greater amounts that its tsarist predecessor. Geopolitical considerations were the primary motivation. Analysis of most of the period since World War II suggests that, in order to achieve Soviet political and military goals, Ukrainian authorities had to be left without any real decision-making power, despite official propaganda to the contrary. In order to integrate Ukraine into the Russian Empire / USSR, it was not enough to control its economy completely: its intellectual base had to be destroyed as well. Before 1917, the imperial establishment tended to appropriate the contributions of Ukrainian scholars to economics — a practice that continued under the Soviets. The overall conclusion of this study is that Moscow's administration of the Ukrainian economy, regardless of the system in place, was detrimental to its performance and to the population's welfare, and dangerous to the survival of the Ukrainian nation itself.
