No but they had two kinds of money. Rubles and accounting Rubles.
No they liked to reward regular people with non-material things.
You mean experience is gulag is truly priceless for entrepreneur.
Well that was for very low key entrepreneurs. More serious ones generally got death sentence if caught
They did have startups and private investors, but it was obviously black market and was punishable by death.
