No, I'm talking about GOSPLAN in last 15 years of life of USSR. I forgot name of woman (I did investigation more than 15 years ago), but it was just one woman, protege of Babaian. I forgot details, so maybe it was yearly plan, but idea remains: for last 15 years, USSR was on autopilot and bribes.

That sounds kinda strange, given the in the last 15 years there was plenty of reform going on, like the whole Perestroika thing.

Do you know meaning of words "tufta", "purga", "pripiski"? USSR officials were happy to perform on paper any reform, increase and improve anything, because it was the easy way to climb hierarchy. Glasnost` and Perestroika were symptoms of deeper problems with economy. The main problem was "everything is ours, so nobody cares".
