| Groman, Vladimir Gustavovich. | Tsarism to Soviet | Menshevik economist and statistician. Believed in lower grain prices through regulation. Lars T Lih describes Groman as "A fascinatingly typical member of his generation of the Russian intelligentsia, a generation whose enthusiasm had been excited by the opportunities for reform first of the war period and then of the revolutionary period but which was disillusioned by Lenin and destroyed by Stalin."1 Representative sent by the Union of Towns to the Special Conference on Food Supply during WWI.2 Though initially supportive of Groman's programme of economic regulation, the Provisional Government later raised grain prices by 60%.3 The All-Russian Food-Supply Council of Ten, a politically neutral institution created to manage food supply under Bolshevism, was Groman's idea. (This institution was ultimately unsuccessful.)4 | 1 LIH90:25 2 LIH90:26 3 LIH90:90-91,105 4 LIH90:120-121 | |
