    Not really, Gorby did seem to be vaguely moving in that direction but not to the same extent as China did around when it was transitioning. The USSR right up until the end kept a command economy overseen by Gosplan, could be debated this is what helped kill it though.

    You did get market activity on the small scale particularly around farmers markets etc & ofc the black market along with some small time business ventures but the overarching industrial economy never ceased being overseen by Gosplan & owned by various state run companies.
