Harsh words, and not just the views of a lone woman. Sovetskaya Rossiya's editors gave her letter (some Soviets believe it was actually written by Andreeva's husband, a fellow teacher) the prominence of an editorial.

"Rather than create opportunities for real competition," he says, "these ministries are trying to tie our hands. I go to the ministry, and they say what I want...
...live in a financial fantasy land. "Right now factory managers don't know when they're doing a good job. They can say they're profitable even though they're selling tractors for $2,000 when they should be selling them for $5,000," says Judy Shelton, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution in California and author of a new book titled The Coming Soviet Crash. But Moscow is cautious about letting plants determine prices for fear that the move would spark a burst of inflation and consumer outrage...
