The monograph analyses previously unknown sources that enable us to radically reconsider historiographical stereotypes about the economic causes and outcomes of World War II for the USSR. A careful study of several thousand recently declassified Soviet documents allows the author to draw the following conclusion: most "fundamental truths" about the key economic issues of the 1930s-1950s have no plausible basis in fact. The new data found by the author in three Russian archives not only make it possible to identify the mechanism of total falsification in the Soviet statistics and to explain its motives, but also to reconstruct the real historical events as accurately as possible.
