In the drive towards industrialisation, it is not the acquisition of land for setting up industry which presented the main problem in the USSR. Rather it was the procurement of surplus food stock from the farmers to feed the towns which appeared as a crucial bottleneck. In the late 1920s, the Stalinist leadership (opposed by the Bukharin faction) resolved to launch an all-out collectivisation campaign in the agricultural sector. It was argued that collective farms would provide an organisational base for higher productivity.
Kanpur1 with approximately a million inhabitants (at that time) is a major city of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous Indian state. Its relation to the surrounding region is described by Johnson in the following words: 31 Transitional Puzzles It serves as a metropolitan centre for a region that covers approximately 17,000 square miles inhabited by about 10 million people. If one follows the official census definition of a town, the urban hierarchy of the region would consist of one central city (Kanpur), 24 towns, and 11,239 villages; which means that there would be but one town for every 468 villages.
However, there was also a more compelling consideration. It was guessed rightly that collectivisation would strengthen the control of the party over the agricultural sector and so make it easier to achieve higher targets of centralised procurement of grain to meet the needs of the industrial sector. The campaign for rapid collectivisation started in 1929 and some writers have designated the next five years the period of ‘the Soviet Great Leap Forward’. Statistics relating to progress of collectivisation and changes in agricultural production and procurement over these years are available from Moscow and these tell a grim story.
