"J.V. Stalin in his youth."
Vladimir Isaakovich Prager, 1947.

For some beautiful relaxing music in the sun Ludovico Einaudi is the best you can ask for. Absolutely stunning music.

"The management of the collective farm is in the hands of an elected committee of the members. The management is allowed to appoint members to different jobs throughout the collective. The work is done in "brigades," each with its own responsibilities, and competing with each other for the best results, just like groups of factory workers. The members of the collective farm do not draw wages, since they are not employees but joint owners. Each year, after the harvest, the total year's income is calculated, in terms of revenue from the sale of products during the year together with all unsold produce in hand. After all debts have been paid, a certain quota is set aside for the following year's seed fund, for the extension of the farm, and for social services to members. According to the model statutes, not more than lo percent of the total revenue goes to this latter purpose. The rest is divided among the inhabitants,"
"to each according to his work."

The task is to learn to organise the work properly, not to lag behind, to remove friction in time, not to separate administration from politics; for our administration and our politics rest on the ability of the entire vanguard to maintain contact with the entire mass of the proletariat and the entire mass of the peasantry. If anyone forgets these cogs and becomes wholly absorbed in administration, the result will be disastrous
