Soviet Economic Data

[Leif]

Does anyone have any sources for soviet economic data? Production, wages, etc..?

I made this thread a few days ago but it was deleted when the forum went down, so I lost Biggles' reply...

Merry Christmas friend Nigmir, you bolshevik ruffian.

In the 80's GDP was 2.5 trillion USD, which makes GDP per capita around 10000$. The average monthly salary was about 120 rubles which was about 170$.
For comparison a glass of soda from a vending machine was about 3 kopeiks (kopeik=0.01 of ruble). A cone of ice-cream was like 10 kopeiks. I am not sure about beer, I was a kid. Education and medicare was free of course.
