Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton in the Soviet Union: Report of a Technical Study Group Water in the USSR cotton areas is plentiful the year round and probably will not be a limiting factor in the cotton expansion pro gram. The concentration on cotton growing is so heavy in central Asia that it resembles the one-crop system existent in the u.s. Cotton Belt 30 years ago. Alfalfa needed for winter feed is the only commercial crop used for partial rotation with cotton except for small fields of melons and rice. Cultivable areas are seldom used as pasture even for rotation. Livestock consist mainly of sheep, goats, burros, and cattle (small numbers) tethered individually along the banks, of irrigation ditches or tended by shepherds in rocky areas not suitable for cultivation. There are no fences along cotton fields or pasture areas. The areas nearest the sources of water were developed first, resulting in a heavy concentration of cotton cultivation in the eastern portion of Uzbekistan. This Republic (equivalent to a u.s. State) accounts for twothirds of the Soviet cr0p. Plenty of new land appears to be available, mostly in Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, and Turkmenia, for the planned increase in the cotton area by 1965' of million acres above the 1958 estimate of million acres. However, it is a major under taking to prepare this land with earth-moving equipment so irrigation water can be properly applied and proper drainage can be assured. The goal can be reached eventually but probably not by 1965. Prime Minister Khrushchev, in a speech on December 15, 1958, before the lt annual plenary session of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union Communist Party, discussed the 1965 production goal for cotton. He stated that production increases in the past had been achieved mainly by reclaiming new-lands and constructing irrigation systems. He mentioned the high cost of this and of pumping stations and the settlement of workers in new areas. Land reclamation will be continued, he said.

Download or read book Russia s Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy written by Chris Ward and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy Chris Ward uses a wide range of published and unpublished Soviet sources to examine key aspects of life on the shop floor of the Russian cotton mill in the 1920s. He reveals the existence of a complex world of work which grew out of the interaction between the experience of industrialisation in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russia and the mechanisation of the cotton industry in Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author explores the manner in which a 'mill culture' emerged from these developments and demonstrates that by the 1920s this culture was often very resistant to change. Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy provides a realistic understanding of the relationship between worker, state policy and technology in Russia in the 1920s.

This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from U. S. Team Reports on Soviet Cotton Production and Trade About 30 percent of the Soviet crop is exported, mostly to Eastern Europe but in 1973, the Soviet Union replaced the United States as the largest supplier to Western Europe and, during 1973-75, supplied one-half as much to Japan as did the United States. While the loth 5-year-plan calls for a crop of 9 million metric tons of seed cotton (13 million bales of lint) by 1980, the 1971-75 plan was exceeded by an annual average of 13 percent. If the plan for 1980 is exceeded by this amount, the 1980 crop Would be 10 million metric tons of seed cotton, or about million bales of lint, compared to million tons of seed cotton, or million bales of lint in This would represent a 5-percent annual average rate of increase in production from 1976 through 1980. From 1966 through 1976 the annual growth rate averaged percent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Imperial Desert Dreams written by Julia Obertreis and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beamte, Ingenieure und Wissenschaftler des Russischen Reiches und später der Sowjetunion planten die Ausweitung und Modernisierung der Bewässerungssysteme und des Baumwollanbaus in Zentralasien. Die Studie, die das heutige Usbekistan und Turkmenistan untersucht, betont die diskursiven und politischen Kontinuitäten über die Zäsur von 1917 hinweg. Einer der zentralen Topoi war die Umwandlung von ›toten‹ Steppen und Wüsten in ›blühende Oasen‹. Der high modernism erreichte seinen Höhepunkt in den Nachkriegsjahrzehnten. Seit den 1970er Jahren entwickelte sich eine Öko-Kritik an der sowjetischen Modernisierung, die in der Perestrojkazeit an Fahrt aufnahm. Letztendlich trugen die ökologischen und ökonomischen sowie sozialen Folgewirkungen der wachstumsfixierten Modernisierung zum Zusammenbruch des kommunistischen Regimes bei. Officials, engineers and scientists in the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union envisaged the expansion and modernization of irrigation systems and cotton growing in Central Asia. Focusing on the region of today's Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, this book highlights the continuities in discourse and policies beyond the historical divide of 1917. One of the central topoi was the transformation of 'dead' lands into 'blossoming oases'. High modernism policies hit their peak in the post-war decades. From the 1970s, an ecological critique evolved which gained momentum in the Perestroika period. Ultimately, the grave ecological, economic and social consequences of the growth-fixated modernization contributed to the downfall of the Communist regime.

Download or read book Empire of Nations written by Francine Hirsch and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917, they set themselves the task of building socialism in the vast landscape of the former Russian Empire, a territory populated by hundreds of different peoples belonging to a multitude of linguistic, religious, and ethnic groups. Before 1917, the Bolsheviks had called for the national self-determination of all peoples and had condemned all forms of colonization as exploitative. After attaining power, however, they began to express concern that it would not be possible for Soviet Russia to survive without the cotton of Turkestan and the oil of the Caucasus. In an effort to reconcile their anti-imperialist position with their desire to hold on to as much territory as possible, the Bolsheviks integrated the national idea into the administrative-territorial structure of the new Soviet state. In Empire of Nations, Francine Hirsch examines the ways in which former imperial ethnographers and local elites provided the Bolsheviks with ethnographic knowledge that shaped the very formation of the new Soviet Union. The ethnographers—who drew inspiration from the Western European colonial context—produced all-union censuses, assisted government commissions charged with delimiting the USSR's internal borders, led expeditions to study "the human being as a productive force," and created ethnographic exhibits about the "Peoples of the USSR." In the 1930s, they would lead the Soviet campaign against Nazi race theories . Hirsch illuminates the pervasive tension between the colonial-economic and ethnographic definitions of Soviet territory; this tension informed Soviet social, economic, and administrative structures. A major contribution to the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, Empire of Nations also offers new insights into the connection between ethnography and empire.
Download or read book Revolution in the Factory written by William Husband and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on archival materials previously unavailable to Western scholars, Husband here presents the first detailed local perspective on political, economic, and social relations during the critical years of the Soviet state. Taking into account local loyalties, family and gender identifications, and impulses toward self-preservation--in addition to class frictions--this study of the textile industry shows how unskilled workers shaped their expectations and perceptions of the revolutionary process on their experiences in society and in the workplace, not on ideology or effective political mobilization. Scholars and students of the Soviet Union will find in this lucid analysis a wealth of material that provides a compelling new answer to the much-debated question: To what degree and for what reasons did industrial workers support the Russian Revolution?
