A crazy guy in the Kremlin: to find out the real situation of the collective farmers in the Soviet Union, one only has to ask the old men who are still alive who worked on the collective farm or their children, and it's a shame that you can't create a modern analogy to the collective farm for such "in the know": ban layoffs, take passports, force them to work "at least" without early work days (at least practically) without early work days (at least) in the form of several hundred kilograms of grain for the entire working year, not to send their children to study in the city at a technical school or institute, and at the end of their lives end up with a pension four to five times lower than the municipal pension (11-18 rubles, then only in the 70s). Well, of course, the most literate thing in historicism is to ask abstract "living old men", preferably still locked in a shared kitchen with files of Ogunyuk magazine for the second half of the 1980s. It makes sense, it's like "you can't ask" the dead, but even "taking passports" from collective farmers was difficult, because you can't take something that wasn't there in the first place: according to Resolution No. 861 of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union dated April 28, 1933, passports were issued to residents of cities, workers' settlements, and new buildings. Why is this so? Yes, because in order for someone to live somewhere, he must first create jobs and provide housing. Our climate does not allow us to sleep on the streets all year round. "We didn't let the children go to the city to study" - how did the designer Kalashnikov, Marshal Zhukov, the academician Meshin, or even Khrushchev and Gorbachev manage to break through the "Iron Curtain"? You can probably look at other biographies in the "source" column, but the problem is that many are already dead, but you can't ask the dead? And in general, it is not clear how the urban population of the Soviet Union grew from 26 million in 1926 to 136 million in 1970? About "sticks" and "working days" - do you know why you can't establish a "modern collective farm"?
