While there's a lot of good information here, I don't see any comment about how the World Bank refused to trade with the Soviet Union in gold, and would only trade in grain.
Well raw resources in general with grain being the more higher valued commodity. The USSR in it's early stages of development was forced to be a resource extraction state as a measure Capital took to try and stunt the industrial grown of the USSR.
By forcing them to trade in goods instead of currency or bullion for manufactured goods and resources, the USSR was forced to take measures we know today as Juche or more aptly known as autarky.
