"Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution"

"Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution" examines how the Soviet Union transformed its economy from primarily agriculture-focused to industrialized during the 20th century. It explores the policies and efforts, especially under leaders like Stalin, that aimed to boost industrial production while transitioning labor from farms to factories. This shift included collectivization of agriculture, which aimed to increase efficiency but often led to hardship. The work argues that this period was not just about rapid industrialization but also involved complex social and economic changes that reshaped Soviet society and its workforce fundamentally.
