Development of Economic Relations Between Socialist and Industrially Developed Capitalist Countries

The possibility of broad collaboration between countries with different socioeconomic systems was demonstrated by V. I. Lenin, who believed that with increasing internationalization of the world economy the degree of participation of socialist countries in the worldwide division of labor would grow. "There is a power that is greater than the desire, will, and resolve of any of the hostile governments or classes. This power is common worldwide economic relations that compel them to enter into such relations with us"(1).
