The author reviews Private Trade and Credit in the Urals under the NEP: Economic, Political, and Social Aspects: A Monograph by A. P. Kilin, which focuses on the topic of private trade under the NEP and considers it in a wider chronological context. The monograph analyses the NEP as a model of managing and regulating the economy, trade, and commodity turnover in the Urals. It also considers private trade as an object of state control, the credit system, social aspects of private enterprise under the NEP and the trading and intermediary activities of workers. The monograph provides a heterogeneous picture which enables the reader to gain a comprehensive idea of the NEP and the place private trade occupied in it. Of crucial historiographic importance is the author’s conclusion that private trade was an organic part of the mixed economy’s structure under the NEP and served to connect the producer, the consumer, different spheres of economy and economic setups.
