on the whole, the government抯 modernization effort, despite its russian

thousands participated in the 揼reat
construction project of socialism?with a will to self-sacrifice,
accepting hardship with a real sense of comradeship. many were
inspired by the bolshevik vision of socialism and gave it their full
support. the wave of labor enthusiasm was reinforced by carefully
stage-managed propaganda campaigns leading to the appearance of
搒ocialist emulation?as a form of competition for greater labor
productivity among workers. the stakhanovite movement, named for the
record-breaking coal miner aleksei stakhanov, is perhaps the
best-known example of the shock-worker competition of that period.

in a
speech made in 1946 stalin explained the causes of the soviet
victory in the second world war by the rapid economic progress
achieved in an incredibly short period of time during the prewar
decade. he claimed that by the start of the war soviet russia had
been transformed from an agrarian country into an industrial one,
ready for the defense against the nazis. the comparison of economic
indicators of tsarist russia in 1913 with those of the soviet union
in 1940 brought him to the following conclusion:

such
an unprecedented growth of production cannot be regarded as a simple
and ordinary development of a country from backwardness to progress.
it was a leap, with the help of which our motherland had been
transformed from a backward country into an advanced one, from an
agrarian country into an industrial one. this historical
transformation had been accomplished in an incredibly short period
of time. it had required about 13 years starting from 1928.

stalin claimed that industrialization and collectivization were the
twin cardinal policies of the communist party that made this feat
possible. the scale of achievement in the heavy industrial sector
was particularly staggering. from 1928 to 1941, 9,000 large-scale
industrial plants were built, or 600 to 700 each year. in a short
period of time an industrial capacity was built characteristic of
the more economically advanced countries. in terms of its branch
structure and technological sophistication the soviet economy now
stood at a level comparable the industrialized countries of the
capitalist west. the industrialization enabled the soviet union to
mass-produce aircraft, trucks, cars, tractors, combine harvesters,
synthetic rubber, and different types of equipment designed
primarily for the expansion of heavy industry and military might. in
the years of the 揼reat leap?industrial production grew at an
average annual rate of 10 to 16 percent, displaying the remarkable
dynamism and seemingly boundless potential of the new economic
system. by 1937 the ussr was second only to the united states in its
gross industrial output (in 1913, fifth place).
