Hi John Etty
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't seem to find a way to email you off the blog, so I have to put this is a comment.
I am looking for a source of the (possibly apocryphal) Krokodil cartoon described roughly this way: "Krokodil published a cartoon showing an enormous nail hanging in a large workshop; ‘the month’s plan fulfilled,’ said the director, pointing to the nail. In tons, of course” observed Alec Nove, a well-known academic who studied the Soviet economy." The original description comes from Alec Nove, The Soviet Economic System, George Allen and Unwin, 1977 p 94.
I consulted everyone at Birmingham University CREES, where I did my own PhD, but although some of us claim we remember seeing it, none of us can remember where.
I would like it to illustrate problems of trying to replace equipment from the Soviet legacy, which I am working on in Georgia. Working on in the sense of actually getting the equipment replaced, by loans from banks. But the cartoon would be used in a Best Practice Guide I am helping to write.
Of course the cartoon is not essential, I have found some others, but it is irritating to find so many references to it, but not a copy of the cartoon itself.
Good luck with the PhD.

ReplyDeleteHi Helene,
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking at the blog, and thanks for your message.
I have tried to reply to your message, but haven't been able to do so directly. I'll do some Google searches to see if you have an email address in the public domain.
If you can supply me with an email address (discreetly if you like) I can give you further details of where to find this cartoon, or provide a jpeg of it if you prefer. Alternatively, I have added a (coded) contact address for myself at the bottom of this page.
Best wishes,
John
This one?
