Translation: At the factory, they make sickles, paper, shoes. At the plant, they build tractors, steam engines, trams. Have you heard about the factories that produce bread? These are state farms. State farms use machines and cultivate the land with tractors. Workers operate these machines and tractors. State farms produce thousands of tons of grain annually. State farms are government grain factories. Collective farms are associations of peasant farms. Our country has 25 million peasant farms. They must be united into collectives. Before the Five-Year Plan, thousands of collective farms were organized in the USSR: But this is not enough. Our task is to collectivize all agriculture. On the map, you can see how many state farms and collective farms will grow in five years. The kulak oppresses those who work alone. The collective farm is not afraid of him. In the Five-Year Plan, we will defeat the kulak! Red circles - areas of complete collectivization. Black circles - areas of state farms. Explanation: The map shows the planned collectivization of agriculture across the Soviet Union as part of the Five-Year Plan. The collectivization process aimed to consolidate individual peasant farms into collective farms (kolkhozes) and establish state-run farms (sovkhozes) to increase agricultural productivity and grain production. Key points include: Red Circles: These indicate areas where complete collectivization will occur, transforming individual farms into collective farms. Black Circles: These indicate areas where state farms will be established. Economic Strategy: The text emphasizes the importance of mechanization and the use of tractors and other machinery to enhance agricultural efficiency. Political Goals: The plan aims to defeat the kulaks (wealthier peasants) who opposed collectivization and to unite all peasant farms into collective farms. Scale and Impact: The map illustrates the extensive reach of collectivization efforts, aiming to cover all agricultural regions in the USSR within the five-year period. The ...
