>In his memoirs, Gorbachev wrote that when Andropov was the leader, Gorbachev and Gosplan chairman Nikolai Ryzhkov asked him for access to real budget figures. "You are asking too much", Andropov responded. "The budget is off limits to you."In Soviet Russia, even high-ranking leaders who are responsible for economic planning can access budget figures. What a clown state. Imagine keeping secret from your own economists. Soviets might be good at maintaining an orderly society but they can't govern at all
