Stalin and the Five Year Plans
In 1928 Stalin launched the first of his Five Year Plans with the intention of forwarding his program for socialism in one country.1 The plan decreed the development of heavy industry, the collectivization of agriculture into cooperative state farms, and the elimination of all "bourgeois" elements.2 Increasingly, after 1928, the State would directly control industrial, agricultural and cultural production (see link for more details).
