Collectivization Success? 📌
- Long-term Effects
- Grain harvests returned to 1928 levels by 1935 but still lower than 1913.
- Livestock numbers recovered post-WWII.
- Stalin's Perspective
- Economic Success: Enabled resources for industrialization.
- Urban Benefits: Cities were less dependent on countryside; stable food supply for urban workers.
- Political Control: Tightened grip over rural areas.
Example: Imagine a factory needing workers and resources. The factory gets both due to people moving from rural to urban areas and grain exports, which can be likened to collectivization’s results.
Discussion 🧐
- Why was collectivization ‘favorable’ for Stalin?
- Economic and political control, urban stability, and industrialization resources.
The Five-Year Plans Overview 📘
- Goals
- Transform Soviet Union into industrialized socialist state in 10 years.
- Achieve self-sufficiency and lessen Western dependence.
- Focus on heavy industry (iron, coal, steel).
- Methods
- Quotas per factory and mine set by Gosplan.
- Plans often completed ahead of schedule for psychological and propaganda reasons.
- Propaganda Projects
- Dnieprostroi Dam, Moscow-Volga Canal, Moscow Metro, new industrial centers, and ‘socialist city’ Magnitogorsk.
Example: Think of the Five-Year Plans like an aggressive workout plan aiming for rapid muscle (industry) growth, while sometimes exaggerating the results to stay motivated and impress others.
