At the end of the 20s of the twentieth century it became apparent that the NEP (New Industrial Policy) is not able to provide a fast and effective transition to an industrial economy from an agrarian, and provide a springboard for the country's defense in a possible war.Therefore
-Union Bolshevik Party headed by Stalin introduced a new economic regime.The period of existence of this policy was called "the great turning point."
principles mode
great crisis in 1929 was based on the general industrialization of production and the collectivization of agriculture.This means that everywhere liquidated private farms and small cooperatives and collective farms were set up in their place - collective farms.All resources are concentrated, according to the Bolsheviks, in the hands of the working class, but in reality - the government.
carry out mass repression against certain social groups (in most cases against the peasant bourgeoisie - "kulaks").Convicted peasants then were used as cheap labor in a large number of large-scale construction projects.
"great crisis" meant that the country needed a global industrial revolution, and this state required a large amount of resources - both raw materials and workers.To do this, we have been involved Donetsk, Krivoy Rog and many other pools manganese, coal, bauxite deposits.
real situation
Contrary to all expectations, the actual situation in the country was far from being as good.When Stalin began the "great turning point", he did not realize that the peasants are not easy to give their property to the state.Violent grain procurements were accompanied by widespread discontent, and as a consequence - the arrests and devastation of farms.This eventually led to widespread riots.The peasants did not want to give their cattle and property, deliberately slaughtered animals and reduced plantings.
In this revolt the government responded very harshly, sending special units to villages.With the support of the army of people forcibly herded into collective farms and took away all their possessions.Mass closed the church, the buildings used for household needs, and priests were arrested as a "great turning point" also meant the beginning of mass religious persecution.
Consequences
attempts to suppress riots led only to an even greater deterioration of the situation in the country.In January 1930, there were 346 performances in February - 736, and in the first two weeks of March - 595. And that's just in the territory of modern Russia!In Ukraine, the uprisings were covered by more than a thousand settlements.The excitement became too numerous, so the government had to soften the "great turning point", while laying the blame for what is happening on local leaders.However, the uprising only temporarily stopped the pace of the coup, and after a while "turning point" in 1929 again resumed.This time it was easier to implement, as the organizers of the riots and the most active participants were sent to Siberia.Together with them were repressed and almost all the "kulaks" and their families.
