kondratev nikolai dmitrievich (1 Ergebnisse)

Scarce first edition of the biography of the Ukranian business-cycle analyst Tugan- Baranovski (1865-1919), written by one of his favourite pupils, the agricultural economist Kondratév. "Kondrat'ev's meteoric rise was probably due in considerable measure to the fact that he was privileged to be one of the 'closest' (his own expression) pupils of Professor M. I. Tugan-Baranovsky. Kondrat'ev recalled his connection with him in a pamphlet published in Petrograd in 1923 to commemorate the professor's death in 1919. Nineteen twenty-three was probably the last date when, even with the greatest courage and restraint, anything good could have been published in the USSR on Tugan-Baranovsky who had been a minister in Petlura's rightist Ukranian government which fought the Bolshevik regime. This pamphlet on Tugan-Baranovsky was dug up when the Bolsheviks made up their indictment of Kondrat'ev. He was viciously attacked for it inter alia in Kondrat'evchina, the collection of reports and speeches delivered to the Agrarian Institute of the Communist Party on 1 October 1930" (Jasny, pp. 158-59). See Naum Jasny, Soviet Economists of the Twenties: Names to be Remembered, Cambridge, 1972 and Vincent Barnett, A History of Russian Economic Thought, London & New York, 2005 (pp. 48-54).
