Within the economy of the Soviet Union, "Left" production (Russian: "левая" продукция) was goods manufactured on state enterprises, but not accounted for in the official bottom line reported to planning organs and was sold "to the left" ("налево") i.e, "on the side", via black market. It constituted a significant and part of the second economy of the Soviet Union. The term is still in use in post-Soviet states, also in reference to the production distributed off books, e.g., for tax or regulations evasion.
