, Five Year Plans:

AIMS:
Boost overall production by 300%
 Develop heavy industry (coal, iron, steel, oil, machinery)
 Improve the transport system, especially railways
 Transform society + the economy by electrification; target = generate 6x more electric power
by 1933 than the total in 1928
 Feed the expanding industrial workforce through big increases in agricultural production
 Light industry (chemicals, household goods etc) given low priority but was expected; output x2

WHY INDUSTRIALISE:
Political:
- Secure the revolution from external threats, (modernise + militarise)
- Fits with Stalin’s ‘Socialism in One Country’
Economic:
o Catch up with the West- had started industrialising over 150yrs before
o Become more self-sufficient
Ideological:
 CSPU were an urban proletariat party  they were the people that supported the revolution
so the gov have to support them
 It fitted with Marxist theory (strongly centralised socialist state leading the country through
to an urban workers’ state)

INTRO:
 Collectivisation was introduced to support Stalin’s industrial plans
 Aim: improve productivity of farming sector + thereby feed growing urban work force
 At the 1st Workers Conference 1931 Stalin had said “We are fifty or a hundred years behind
the advanced countries. We must make up this gap in ten years. Either we do it or they will
crush us”
 This rapid industrial development was to be undertaken using central command planning
 The plans that were drawn up by Gosplan (the central planning authority) were known as
the Five Year Plans
 The plans began 1928 + lasted until Stalin’s death 1953 (only gap 1941-45 – WW2)




Plan Dates

1st FYP 1928-32 As you can see – no plan ever lasted the full
Five Years
2nd FYP 1933-37
3rd FYP 1938-41 They were ended a year early; so that the Soviet Union
could declare they had already met their targets!
4th FYP 1946-50
5th FYP 1951-55
