Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) I. Stalin

146 Immediately after the publication of this decree, active work on its implementation began in the regions. The newspapers quoted Stalin: "Well, we Bolsheviks will try to ensure that all collective farmers have a cow with us" (Pravda. 1933, August 20). “The issue of the heifer is on the agenda,” the headlines of the newspapers flashed (Ibid.). How the decision of the Center to provide assistance to cowless collective farmers was implemented can be judged by the resolution of the bureau of the Lebedyanskiy district committee of the Central Chernobyl Organization "On assistance to cowless collective farmers in acquiring cows" dated August 25, 1933 (Central House of National Research, Lipetsk Region, F. 48. Op. 1. D 146. L. 82), the resolution of the Presidium of the Nizhne-Volzhsky regional executive committee and the regional committee's bureau "On assistance to cowless collective farmers in acquiring cows" dated September 3, 1933 (GA of the Volgograd Region F. R-313. Op. 1. D. 259 . L. 159-161).

The specific mechanism for the implementation of the Center's decision to provide assistance to uncorn collective farmers is given an idea and resolution of the bureau of the Ust-Labinsk district committee, the presidium of the district executive committee and the political departments of the MTS SKK dated August 26, 1933. It approved the figures for the purchase and contracting of cows (heifers) by collective farmers and individual farmers (1070 pieces in the district) from dairy farms. In excess of this amount, the purchase of young animals directly by the collective farmers themselves from individual farmers and collective farmers was allowed. The boards of collective farms and village councils were to provide all possible assistance in this. Credit plans approved. It was allowed to dispense grain waste outside the distribution plan (Central Household Research Institute of the Krasnodar Territory. F. 1471. Op. 1. D. 128. L. 12-13).
