This article focuses on the book "The Great Offensive," by Maurice Hindus. Hindus' new volume is an up-to-date account of the economic and social changes wrought upon Soviet Russia by the Five-Year Plan. The movement to collectivize Russian land was perhaps the outstanding factor in the Soviet program. It began in 1930, referred to by the Soviet leaders as the "year of the great break." The primary aim of this movement was to industrialize agriculture, to get control of the food supply of the entire nation and increase it by scientific methods. The real issue, however, was much deeper than that. |
