Freedom of Trade Returns to Russia via British Influence
At an annual meeting of Russo Asiatic Consolidated Company chairman Leslie Urquhart said British trade agreements with the Soviet government moderated policy and spurred a decree restoring local trade freedom. Denationalization of female industries resumed trade, corn requisition gave way to taxation, open barter between peasants and townworkers was allowed, and private gain reemerged. Extremists were dismissed to make room for moderates, signaling gradual economic liberalization in Russia.
