Abstract
Agriculture in the Moscow area was oriented towards local consumption, and its relative weight in total production was quite small. During the first collectivisation drive of 1930, Moscow was in the third category, and collectivisation was supposed to be completed at some unspecified date in the future.1 However, local activists were carried away by their enthusiasm: Bauman, after replacing Uglanov, who was sceptical about forced collectivisation, launched a grandiose forced-tempo plan in spring 1930. On paper this achieved the collectivisation of about 73 per cent of households by March 1930.2
