The Role of Scientific and Technological Collaboration Among the Lands of Socialism in the Development and Reinforcement of the World Socialist Economic System

Abstract

The historic 21st Congress of the CPSU noted that all the socialist countries would undergo successful development with the further growth and strengthening of the world system of socialism. Countries hitherto economically backward will by basing themselves on the experience of other socialist countries, on collaboration and mutual aid, rapidly build up their economies and cultures. Thus, the common front of economic and cultural development of all the socialist countries would draw even, and the prerequisites for their transition from the first to the second phase of communism would be created at accelerated rates. The time is approaching when these countries will, like the Soviet Union, build a communist society.
