  1. Stalin and the Great Industry Buildup By: Courtney Lark

  2. Overview • To build up the industry, Stalin created the five year plan. There were three five-year plans. • First five-year plan (1928-1933) • Second five-year plan(1932-1937) • They both had some achievements and some failures, but the first five-year plan was better.

  3. Joseph Stalin • Stalin was born in 1879 and later died in 1953. • He was the leader of Russia. • Since Russia was behind most of the other countries, he wanted to industrialized it. • He surname was Djugasvili. • He was a tyrannical leader

  4. Stalin Cont. • Stalin Quote: “We are 100 years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this lag in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush!” • He believed along with Lenin that USSR should over take and outstrip the capitalist countries” • The five year plan was use for propaganda.

  5. HowAchieved • Workers were bombarded with propaganda, posters, slogans, and radio broadcast. • Stalin attacked the Muslim faith

  6. First Five-Year Plan • Farmers and industry was forced to modernize • “Collective” (kulaks) • 1929-34 – the number of cattle dropped from 58 to 33.5 mil. • # of horses dropped from 32.6 mil to 17.3 • Livestock didn’t reach their level until the mid 1950s • 1928 only 1.7% of the peasants were on collective farms -March 1930 = 58% -End of 1930 = total of 99%

  7. Second Five-Year Plan • Russia was more productive • Livestock went up but barely close to original • Coal increased 150 mil tons by the end of the second plan • Wheat increased at a good rate but later dropped close to 1938 (very little)

  8. Success • USSR was turned into a modern state/resist Hitler’s invasion • There was genuine communist enthusiasm among the young pioneers. • Improvements represented a massive jump forward

  9. Education Coal Farm machinery Steel Doctors and medicine Transport and communications Dams/hydroelectric power Electricity No unemployment (So jobs were available) New cities HugeAchievements

  10. Failures • Poorly organized • Some historians claims the tsars had the spade work setting up the basis for industrialization and Stalin’s effort had little effect.

  11. Discipline Wages fell No human rights Slave labor Camps Poor housing Few consumer goods Accidents and deaths (100,000 workers died building the Belomor Canal) Secret police Appalling Human Cost

  12. Significance to the War • It was significant to the war because Russia became more industrialized. There was an increased in coal, steel, electricity, and oil. Ex. Coal can be used for the production of weapons and machinery. Steel can be used for production of armor. Electricity provide energy in the factories.
