In 1929-30, the 'spinal year' of the first five-year plan, a vast investment programme began the transformation of the Soviet Union from a peasant country into a great industrial power. This book, the third part of The Industrialisation of Soviet Russia, re-examines the breakdown of the mixed economy. In those days of heroism and enthusiasm, hunger and repression, crucial Soviet economic and political institutions were established, and are only now being effectively challenged by Gorbachev's revolution. While complementing the previous two volumes of this author's work, the book is designed to be read independently. It sheds new light on a dramatic moment in Soviet history and in the formation of the Soviet system.

The profound economic crisis of 1931-33 undermined the process of industrialisation and the stability of the regime. In spite of feverish efforts to achieve the over ambitious first five-year plan, the great industrial projects lagged far behind schedule. These were years of inflation, economic disorder and of terrible famine in 1933. In response to the crisis, policies and systems changed significantly. Greater realism prevailed: more moderate plans, reduced investment, strict monetary controls, and more emphasis on economic incentives and the role of the market. The reforms failed to prevent the terrible famine of 1933, in which millions of peasants died. But the last months of 1933 saw the first signs of an industrial boom, the outcome of the huge investments of previous years. Using the previously secret archives of the Politburo and the Council of People's Commissars, the author shows how during these formative years the economic system acquired the shape which it retained until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

This title was first published in 1979. With the revival of interest in Marxist ideas over the past ten or so years, Evgeny Preobrazhensky, one of the leading political and intellectual figures to emerge from the Bolshevik Revolution, has become known to a far wider circle than just the occasional specialist in Soviet history. For the English reader, direct familiarity with Preobrazhensky’s writings became possible only in 1965, with the publication of a translation of his most famous theoretical work, The New Economics. This collection expands the translation’ of Preobrazhensky’s work, with an extended bibliography advising an additional Russian material.

While the capitalist world was experiencing The Crash and the beginnings of the Depression, a massive investment program initiated the Soviet Union's transformation from a peasant country to an industrial power. Here is a nearly day-by-day account of the establishment of political institutions only now being challenged by Gorbachev's reforms. Complements the two previous volumes, but is designed to stand on its own. Well-printed (in China) on acidic paper. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book examines the Soviet agricultural crisis of 1931-1933 which culminated in the major famine of 1933. It is the first volume in English to make extensive use of Russian and Ukrainian central and local archives to assess the extent and causes of the famine. It reaches new conclusions on how far the famine was 'organized' or 'artificial', and compares it with other Russian and Soviet famines and with major twentieth century famines elsewhere. Against this background, it discusses the emergence of collective farming as an economic and social system.
