I started adding to Sovkhoz and writing kolkhoz, but soon realized that the articles share much. Also, comparison of these forms is required. I suggest to make a single article, Collective farming in the USSR. Also, to avoid confusion, I suggest eiher to rename Collectivisation in the USSR into History of collectivisation in the USSR or to make it into a section of the new article. Any opinions? Please put them into the Talk:Sovkhoz page. Mikkalai 04:38, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kolkhoz in NY

In NY, United States a small group of youthful Russian immigrants adopted the name "kolkhoz" (former Odessites, Kievites and inhabitants of Tashkent). Some of the activities the group is involved in include sharing of their individual assets, collectively buying property... the group is residing mainly around Sheepshead Bay area...according to the latest sources they have a satellite location in Saugerties, NY

the above piece was added by an anon. I removed it until solid confirmation of both fact and its notablity. mikka (t) 04:20, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
