It began during and was part of the first five-year plan. The policy aimed to consolidate individual landholdings and labour into collective farms: mainly kolkhozy and sovkhozy. The Soviet leadership confidently expected that the replacement of individual peasant farms by collective ones would immediately increase the food supply for the urban population, the supply of raw materials for processing industry, and agricultural exports. Planners regarded collectivization as the solution to the crisis of agricultural distribution (mainly in grain deliveries) that had developed from 1927.^[1] This problem became more acute as the Soviet Union pressed ahead with its ambitious industrialization program]]> 2018-02-09 17:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230124870 darren_palmerscott https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230125512 The economy of the Soviet Union was based on a system of state ownership of the means of production, collective farming, industrial manufacturing and centralized administrative planning.]]> 2018-02-09 17:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230125512 darren_palmerscott https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230126194 The Great Purge or the Great Terror was a campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union which occurred from 1936 to 1938.^[1] It involved a large-scale purge of the Communist Party and government officials, repression of peasants and the Red Army leadership, widespread police surveillance, suspicion of "saboteurs", "counter-revolutionaries", imprisonment, and arbitrary executions.^[2] In Russian historiography, the period of the most intense purge, 1937–1938, is called Yezhovshchina (Russian: Ежовщина; literally, "Yezhov phenomenon",^{[note 1]} commonly translated as "times of Yezhov" or "doings of Yezhov"), after Nikolai Yezhov, the head of the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, who was himself later killed in the purge.]]> 2018-02-09 17:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230126194 darren_palmerscott https://padlet.com/darren_palmerscott/wgybwjlnl0la/wish/230127119 The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (Russian: Рабоче-крестьянская Красная армия (РККА), Raboche-krest'yanskaya Krasnaya armiya (RKKA), frequently shortened in Russian to Красная aрмия (КА), Krasnaya armiya (KA), in English: Red Army, also in critical literature and folklore of that epoch – Red Horde,^[1] Army of Work) was the army and the air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and, after 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
