Dzerzhinsky Collective Farm

The Dzerzhinsky Collective Farm was a large agricultural enterprise in the Soviet Union, established during the Soviet era's focus on collectivization. It brought together multiple smaller farms under state-managed cooperation to increase efficiency and grain production. Named after Felix Dzerzhinsky, a Soviet revolutionary, the farm exemplified the Soviet approach to agriculture—centralized control, collective labor, and state planning. Such farms aimed to eliminate individual land ownership, promote communal work, and support the country's broader industrial and economic goals. Over time, these collective farms varied in productivity and played a significant role in Soviet agricultural policies and history.
