metadata.value: The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA/Comecon) was established in 1949, but
  active cooperation between socialist countries of Eastern Europe began only in the mid-1950s.
  The CMEA countries sought to expand intra-bloc trade, especially against the backdrop of
  the success of Western European integration. The purpose of this research is to identify and
  analyze the non-market trade links within the CMEA in 1956–1959 as factors for expanding
  integration between socialist countries. The analysis is based on the materials of the Russian
  State Archive of Modern History, and the Russian State Archive of Economics. In 1956,
  accelerated industrialization in Eastern Europe led to the emergence of crisis phenomena in
  most CMEA countries. The relations between states were tense. The Polish and Hungarian
  crises of 1956 showed the severity of the situation. The Soviet Union harshly suppressed
  political opponents. At the same time, Moscow tried to support the economies of the CMEA
  countries. One of these measures was expanding trade with them. The results of the research
  showed that there was nonmarket expansion of trade in the case of coal supplies to Poland
  and Czechoslovakia, imports of Polish coal, exports of Bulgarian tobacco. In 1957–1958, there
  were serious imbalances in intra-bloc trade. Normalization of trade relations was intended
  to be achieved through the creation of the Multilateral Clearing System. In 1958–1959, this
  system was ineffective. This suggests that the CMEA countries used trade relations in the
  period under review mainly as a political tool.
