Private Enterprise in the Soviet Union

[reviscom1]

Was there any Private Enterprise in the Days of Stalin, Kruschev and Brezhnev and, if so, what form did it take?

Were there any large private enterprises? What about that big Moscow Department Store? (called something like GUM)

[reviscom1]

Any thoughts?

[Sinister Cultural Marxist]

There was a black market, which is by definition a form of private enterprise.

Is that all?

It's my understanding that Koch Industries had some involvement with modernizing the Soviet oil industry during Stalin's time. That's the only example I know of, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more, especially during and after Khrushchev's time.
