Discussion on forest management in the period of the new economic policy (1925-1927)

The author examines the arguments of the participants in the discussion of the second half of the 1920s about the rational management of forestry in the USSR. The question of who should be the main provincial logger - forest trusts or logging units of provincial forestry sub-departments, - was actively discussed at meetings of the Supreme Economic Council and on the pages of specialized journals of the forest industry. The author also traces the further evolution of management structures of forestry and forest industry in the USSR and Russia.
