The authors’ main difficulty in the concrete utilisation of the methodology described in the CIA study was, of course, the struggle with Soviet statistics — sparse, fragmented, unexplained, unreliable, and sometimes deliberately distorted. In addition to everything else, its various classifications do not correspond to those employed in the West. Although it complicated their work, the authors strived to follow Western classifications in order to ensure the international comparability of their results.
