    The number of peasants and craftsmen engaged in collective forms of production was only 1.3 percent of the total in 1924 and 2.9 percent in 1928.[2]     Commodity production of grain (the branch of production that was of decisive importance for relations between town and country and in connection with the crisis that began at the end of 1927) was contributed mainly by the individual peasant farms: in 1927 they provided 92.4 percent, while the sovkhozes provided only 5.7 percent and the kolkhozes 1.9 percent.[3]    I.  Remarks on the social differentiation of      the peasantry     The "individual peasant farms" constituted a heterogeneous "social categor.Hidden behind this expression was the great complexity of production relations characteristic of agriculture in the NEP perio.To this complexity corresponded the social differentiation of the Soviet peasantry and the class contradictions which resulte

    The resistance with which this tendency met explains why, during the summer of 1927, Kuibyshev, who then became chairman of the VSNKh, called upon that organ to engage more actively in the revision of norms, and not to hesitate in dismissing "redundant" workers.[17]     At the end of 1927 the revision of work norms was going ahead fas.At the beginning of 1928 the trade unions complained that "in the great majority of cases, the economic organs are demanding complete revision of the norms in all enterprises, which is resulting in wage-cuts."[18]     Closely linked with the question of norms and the way they were fixed was the question of labor discipline and the relations between the workers and the management personnel in the enterprise.From the beginning of the NEP period this question had given rise to a struggle between two paths, a struggle that was especially confused because what was really at issue in it -- namely, the nature of production relations in the state enterprises -- was not clearly perceive

    Another share was to be placed in reserve, in order to ensure the development of the enterprise and the renewal of its equipmen.A third share was to be used for paying percentages to the members of the administration and bonuses to the workers.[8]     At the time, this financial autonomy and this striving for page 271 profit possessed very special significance, for great "freedom of action" was left to the state's industrial enterprises in the matter of their relations with the commercial circuits and the prices at which they sold their product.     During the first half of the 1920s the extension of khozraschet resulted in the concentration of the tasks of management and of the buying and selling of products in the hands of the leaders of the industrial trust

    In this way the form in which ideological and political struggles were carried on in the Party was altere.     The problems which the Party had to confront on the eve of the "great change" were both many and complicate.Basically, they were the same problems as those the Party had been faced with in 1923-1924 (on this, see volume I of the present work, p

    "It is not possible," he said, "to build today's factories with tomorrow's bricks."[44] In this connection he denounced what he called "a kind of fetishism of money" the effect of which was that "people think that, if they have money, they can automatically have everything else," whereas it is material shortages that have to be reckoned with at each moment, so as to overcome them in reality.[45]     The article called for costs of production to be reduced drastically, through an appeal to the masses combined with the use of scienc.In Bukharin's view, no appeal to the masses could succeed unless "over-centralisation" was renounced, and that meant taking "some steps towards the Commune-State," together with a struggle against "the elements of a page 411 bureaucratic degeneration absolutely indifferent to the interests of the masses," so denouncing "functionaries . . . who are ready to draw up any sort of plan" -- a phrase aimed directly, though without naming them, at the specialists of the VSNKh.[46]     On the theoretical plane this article amounted, as can be seen, to a systematic onslaught on the increasingly great priority accorded, in a one-sided way, to investment in industry, and on the claim that this priority would make possible the solving of the problems of agriculture, and particularly that of grain procuremen.The argument set out showed that, in the immediate future, such a conception could only worsen the economic situation and the tension between the Soviet government and the peasantr
