Find map of cultivated land in Russia prior to 1928.

 “The solution lies in the transformation of the small scattered peasants’ plots into large consolidated farms based on the joint cultivation of land using superior techniques.” “We are beginning seriously to re-equip agriculture. For this we must expand the development of collective state farms, employ on a mass scale the contract system and machine and tractor stations as a means of establishing a bond between industry and agriculture along the lines of production. We must reinforce the support of the middle and poor peasant masses, as one of the leans of breaking the resistance of the Kulaks”.

“Men froze, hungered and suffered, but the construction work went on with a disregard for individuals and a mass heroism seldom paralleled in history… Tens of thousands of people were enduring the most intense hardships to build blast furnaces. I would wager that Russia’s battle of ferrous metallurgy alone involved more casualties than the battle of the Marne. In early April it was still bitter cold, everything was frozen solid. By May, the ground had thawed and the city was swimming in mud. Bubonic plague had broken out in three places nearby. The resistance of the population was very low because of under-nourishment during the winter and consistent overwork. Sanitary conditions were appalling. Within two weeks the sun was upon us. By the middle of May the heat was intolerable. In the barracks we were consumed by the bedbugs and other vermin…It was a varied gang, Russians, Ukrainians, Tartars, Mongols, Jews, mostly young and almost all peasants. The tartar Khaibulin had never seen a staircase, a locomotive or an electric light until he arrived in Magnitogorsk”.

“Social change must be gradual and consensual if it is to succeed. Even if violence achieves superficial change, it does not permanently transform the way people think and act. Moreover, in the Soviet case the means and ends were themselves in contradiction. State coercion by its very nature could not create social harmony. The arrest and execution of millions if people only sowed hatred, mistrust and disharmony in Soviet society”. __**﻿**__
