Abstract
The work is devoted to the characterization of two recent works on the economic history of the USSR, which use a fundamentally different approach to describing the Soviet reality. N. Mitrokhin's two-volume edition uses interviews, biographies of representatives of the Soviet elite, and memoirs. In general, his analysis is based on economic sociology and is based on the hypothesis of the rationality of the behavior of Soviet leaders interested in the growth and prosperity of their industries and the USSR as a whole. In the joint work of A. Galushka, A. Niyazmetov, M. Okulov, an implicit hypothesis is introduced about the incompetence and dominance of private, individual interests of Soviet leaders. Formally, they use institutional analysis, but the models identified in the book are identified with individual historical periods in the life of Russia and the USSR and are not comparable. Each of the works under consideration is of great interest, and together they characterize the trend towards continued fragmentation of modern economic history.
