How was the Soviet Union's command economy successful - how was it unsuccessful?
The command economy under Stalin is credited with turning Russia into a modern industrialized nation, and giving Russia the industrial capacity that it needed to successfully defeat the invading army of the Third Reich. In the longer term, however, it failed to gain the support of the general population which became increasingly unproductive and rebellious, culminating in the collapse of the Soviet system in 1990. People prefer to run their own lives, they do not want a command economy that controls all of their economic activity.
