Answer:
On the whole, the 1946 plan reproduced the methods of economic policy of the 1930s. The trend continued for the predominant development of heavy industries and, above all, defense industries. It was based on administrative methods of managing the economy, which is why the Comminist party continued to carefully monitor the economic life of both the country as a whole and individual enterprises. The post-war reorganization of governing bodies has strengthened the role and importance of the executive branch and the party apparatus. Coercive labor management practices persisted. The influx of unskilled labor led to a crisis in the organization of production. Its manifestation was a relatively low increase in labor productivity (an average of 6% per year for the fourth five-year period).
In 1949, the situation worsened. By order of Stalin, new indicators were determined for the main industries, which caused extreme tension in the economy.
In the years of the fifth five-year plan (1951–1955), the same tendencies remained for the predominant development of heavy industries to the detriment of the sphere of consumer consumption. As a result, the production of consumer goods in the postwar period did not meet the needs of the population.
The situation in agriculture in the post-war period remained extremely difficult. In 1946, famine broke out in the country again and breadcards were introduced.
