On my sources: the numbers are from [1]. The text is written by myself. Andris 04:47, May 11, 2004 (UTC)


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?

  • I agree with having a single article Collective farming in the USSR. Andris 04:53, May 17, 2004 (UTC)
  • A memo for future writing: in early times, there were intermediate forms of collective farming called товарищество по обработке земли, or ТОЗ. Standard translation: "agricultural association", literal translation: "association for land tillage". Mikkalai 04:48, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

See extended discussion regarding inefficiency at Talk:Collectivisation in the USSR#Collectivization percentages. Fred Bauder 15:12, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)

My point exactly: Information about efficiency must be in a single place, referred from multiple other places. This is a norm in wikipedia not to duplicate information over different pages, so that the description may easily diverge and say opposite things at different pages.

I reverted this page because it had a lot of material which didn't seem to belong here. I suspect that back in February, a lot of information 86.6.111.214 added (about the results of collectivization) was new to wikipedia, but now the collectivisation article takes care of the most of it. Also, there was some re-duplicated text (at the top and near the bottom).--128.135.24.226 20:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
