ABSTRACT
The fundamental fact of our social economic life at the present juncture, a fact attracting general attention, is the vast growth of the collective farm movement. The new methods of actual practice are calling into being new methods of dealing with the economic problems of the transition period. It is only by combating the bourgeois prejudices in the field of theory that the position of Marxism-Leninism can be consolidated. The Socialist town must lead the peasant village by introducing Soviet and collective farms in the rural districts and reorganising the village on a new Socialist foundation. The capitalist way, in which the agricultural units are enlarged by grafting capitalism upon them, and which leads to the impoverishment of the peasantry and to the development of capitalist enterprises in agriculture. The collective farm as an economic type is one of the forms of Socialist economy.
