Counterplan (Soviet planning)

Counterplan, in the context of Soviet planning, refers to a strategic approach developed during the Soviet Union's economic planning period, particularly associated with the intricate balance of centralized economic control and decentralized decision-making. In a broader sense, it can also relate to phenomena in various fields where an alternative plan is proposed to counter a primary strategy. In Soviet economic planning, particularly during the era of central planning, the government devised comprehensive plans for the economy that dictated production targets, resource allocation, and investment priorities.
