The policy was used to intergrate individuals owned land and labour to collectively-control or state-control the farms. These demands were set by Stalin, and would communicate with the individuals observing the kolkhoz. ]]> 2021-03-02 03:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cheadlea/b9gtudv6qf3cqztu/wish/1256403928 Industrialisation cheadlea https://padlet.com/cheadlea/b9gtudv6qf3cqztu/wish/1256404133 Rapid industrialisation was needed as Russia was considered a 'backwards' nation.

  • Unrealistic targets (industrial production was supposed to rise to 180%)
  • Achievements: Heavy industry increased, Steel and electricity production increased
  • 1500 state-run enterprises sprang up throughout Russia
  • Prestige Projects: Large building projects designed to show off the USSR’s industrial prowess (Dnieper Dam, Moscow Metro, Moscow Volga Canal)
  • Impacts: Plan was introduced at a rapid speed leaving the labour and working force largely untrained and unskilled.
As the main focus was heavy industry, consumer goods were disregarded and living conditions deteriorated. 

Second 5 Year Plan (1933-1937)
  • Period of consolidation
  • Achievements: Focus on Heavy industry, increased growth of transport, machinery & chemical industry (4500 enterprises opened), small growth in consumer industries.
  • Impacts: ‘Golden Age of industrialisation in the USSR’
  • Specific working culture developed around hard work, productivity and loyalty to the communist party. 
  • Eg. Stakhanovite Movement (1935, Alexey Stakhanov mined 102 tonnes of coal in 6 hours leading Stalin to create a propaganda storm centered around hard work and its importance to the Communist Party. Created an unrealistic quota monitored by strict factory managers (poor working conditions and long hours.))

Third 5 Year Plan (1938-1941)
  • Cut short as USSR entered into WWII in 1941
  • Focus: Shifted from heavy industry to armaments for use in the war.
  • Impacts: Consumer industries once again decreased and high demand of factories led to workers not meeting their targets. 
The labour force decreased due to the Terror and the Purges
