NON-CAPITALIST FOREIGN CONCESSIONS IN THE USSR

The participation of foreign noncommercial (working, charitable and religious) organizations in restoration of the young state economy was a specificity of the early years of the Soviet power. Their work should not be conducted on a concession base, as it would go counter with instructions of the Soviet management on granting concessions to exclusively private-capitalist organizations that pursue the main objective of extracting profits. However, the Soviet practice showed sometimes the ambiguous approach. The article given illustrates all cases of granting concessions to the foreign noncommercial organizations during the concession relations period in the USSR.
