Ural-Siberian method



The so called Ural-Siberian Method was an extraordinary measure launched in the Soviet Union in 1927/28 for the collection of grain from the countryside. Placed in the backdrop of the famine of 1927 which resulted from the ‘scissors’ crisis’ of the mid 1920s, the Soviets utilized forced grain requisitioning through the arrest of private traders, the closing of markets and arrest of suspected kulaks (real or imagined).
