| Sumario: | This title investigates the gap between the plans and the reality of the Soviet Union's mid-twentieth-century project to industrialise and modernise its agricultural system. Historians agree that the project failed badly: agriculture was inefficient, unpredictable, and environmentally devastating for the entire Soviet period.
