Like Sarnoff's NBC, Paley's CBS will shape what Americans believe for many
                                        years to come. Paley lived until 1990.

                           STALIN SEIZES THE LAST OF RUSSIA’S FARMS /
                                              RESISTERS ARE KILLED




               As part of Stalin’s first “5 Year Plan”, the small farmers of the Soviet Union are
               forced  into  a  collectivization  scheme.  The  government,  not  the  market,  now
               controls output and sets prices. Land, livestock, and equipment become property
               of “the people” (the State). Reluctant farmers (kulaks) are smeared in the Soviet

               press  as  “greedy”  “capitalists.”  Those  who  continue  to  resist  the  state’s
               directives are murdered or imprisoned.



               Thousands of private farmers are killed, but the really massive death tolls will
               occur during the famine of the early 1930’s. Like all centrally planned economic
               schemes, in which “intellectuals” think they know better than the actual farmer,
               Stalin’s  collectivization,  and  other  “5-Year  Plans”,  yield  only  low  living

               standards for the Soviet people.
