Trade report of Russia shows postwar progress and limits
Moscow reports detail Russia and foreign trade since 1920. 1920 saw minimal exports and 50 million gold rubles in imports. By 1921 imports reached 248 million gold rubles with coal, chemicals, metals, foodstuffs and textiles, while exports totaled 20 million gold rubles led by flax and raw materials. England and Germany supplied most goods. The Soviet press cautions that further export growth is unlikely soon due to the country’s exhausted state, though quality improvements may appear.
