Soviet people, encouraged by the decisions of the Party and the Government was ready to rush headlong to the embodiment of any party ideas.The idea of ​​development of virgin lands belonged to the Central Committee of Komsomol.The call of the Central Committee of Komsomol was approved at the plenum of the Party in February 1954.Local committees began to carry out the selection of the Komsomol volunteers and sent to work on the development of virgin lands.The enthusiasm on the part of young people was enormous.Someone was looking for romance in the new lands, someone wanted to become more independent, but still tends to one - soon to help the country to raise the grain yield for the state and so on.Everywhere there were calls, which invited members of the Komsomol as quickly as possible to get into the ranks of the conquerors of virgin lands.
At the end of February 1954 Kostanay began to take the first detachments.It was a Komsomol of Ukraine, awarded this honorable mission as a Komsomol ticket to the virgin.In March, it gradually began to join young people from the Russian Federation and other republics.It was such a large scale for that to it quickly joined the youth of Kazakhstan.Thus, it began a large-scale event - Virgin Soil Upturned.
people lived in terrible conditions (tents, caravans), but this did not prevent them to learn, learn and acquire new ones, for someone even unknown profession.The development of virgin land was given very hard.In addition to volunteers, the virgin lands were sent agronomic specialists with higher education, who were to train large numbers of people to agricultural occupations.This drove the builders, teachers, machine operators, drivers, accountants - the people of those professions that require a large enterprise.In a short time formed collective and state farms, machine operators brigades.So, just one year formed 337 state farms, and by the autumn of 1955 has been 631 (and more than 2,700 state farms).Thus began the development of virgin lands.We had to handle the seventeen million hectares of land.
plowing virgin has conducted since 1954.Between the teams began to emerge of socialist competition.Began to determine the winners.In order to celebrate the best workers, the Central Committee of the Communist Party established the diplomas, medals, decorations.
first billion pounds of grain Kazakhstan passed the state in 1956.Such large-scale man-made changes in natural communities could not pass without a trace.It was destroyed the most valuable for this area superficial layers of black earth.Disturb the ecological balance in the nature of this unexplored region.Natural weathering humus, the soil began to collapse under the influence of erosion.Subsequent harvests of this magnitude was not observed, and only after fifteen years managed to fully explore these lands.
In addition, the construction of residential areas began to be heard fertile land, with the same purpose, the land from the peasants climbed.Pastures began to disappear, resulting in a massive loss of livestock.These effects led to a high-speed and large-scale development of virgin lands.Nature could not forgive careless attitude to their resources.
addition patriots and enthusiasts in these parts flow and lovers of easy money.Incidentally, the present-day millionaires among a lot of those who participated in the development of virgin lands (or their heirs).Accounting of material-technical base was not at the top level, which led to large-scale embezzlement.The main goal was the intensive development of virgin lands, but nothing has been done to conserve and strengthen the material-technical base.The lack of food, poor living conditions - all this has led to a massive turnover.That was such a development of virgin lands.
