What really caused the failure of the Soviet Union's ambitious
plans to modernize and industrialize its agricultural system? This
book is the first to investigate the gap between the plans and the
reality of the Soviet Union's mid-twentieth-century project to
industrialize and modernize its agricultural system. Historians
agree that the project failed badly: agriculture was inefficient,
unpredictable, and environmentally devastating for the entire
Soviet period. Yet assigning the blame exclusively to Soviet
planners would be off the mark. The real story is much more
complicated and interesting, Jenny Leigh Smith reveals in this
deeply researched book. Using case studies from five Soviet
regions, she acknowledges hubris and shortsightedness where it
occurred but also gives fair consideration to the difficulties
encountered and the successes-however modest-that were achieved.
