Five-Year Plans

A five-year plan using quotas to plan economic growth for a limited period was first used in the Soviet Union, and later in other socialist countries. In the Soviet Union, the first five-year plan (1928 - 32) implemented by Stalin focused on the development of heavy industries and grouped agriculture at the expense of a sharp decline in consumer goods. The second plan (1933 - 37) will continue the goal of the first plan. Collectivization, in particular in Ukraine, resulted in terrible famine. And it caused millions of deaths. The third (1938-42) emphasizes the production of armaments. The fourth (1946 - 1953) re-emphasized heavy industry and military construction, and angered the power of the West. In China, the plan of the first five years (1953 - 57) highlighted the rapid development of the industry with the help of the Soviet Union; it proved to be very successful. Soon after the second program began in 1958, the Great Leap Forward was announced, but its goal was contrary to the five-year plan and brought about the failure and withdrawal of Soviet aid in 1960.

The main form of the medium-term plan is a five-year plan, which is another function adopted by the Soviet system. The aim of the five-year plan is to lead and integrate the annual plan to achieve balanced growth and progress towards domestic goals. In fact, this role can only be achieved by the plan of the first five years (1953 - 57), which effectively functions as a blueprint for industrialization. All five-year plans of the second (1958 - 62), the third (1966 - 70), the fourth (1971 - 75), and the fifth year (1976 - 80) were all interrupted by political turmoil, There was no effect. The sixth five-year plan (1981 - 1985) was formulated during the planning period and reflects the results of the reform program rather than the reform guide. The "7th Five Year Plan" (1986-90) was designed to lead the reform process to the latter half of the 1980s, but by the mid-1987 its future is obscured by political struggle It was.

The five year plan, the economic practices of the Soviet Union plans to increase the production of agriculture and industry over the usual allocation amount, usually 5 years. In addition to the countries other than the former Soviet Union and members of the Soviet bloc, in particular developing countries, a plan of more than 4 years, 5 years or more was adopted. In 1928, Joseph Stalin started a plan for the first five years in the process to achieve industrialization in the Soviet Union in the shortest possible time, and to accelerate farm grouping. The plan was carried out without mercy and the purpose was to emphasize heavy industry at the expense of consumer goods, making the Soviet Union self-sufficient. It covered the period from 1928 to 1933, but it was officially completed in 1932. The second five-year plan (1933 - 37) continued and extended the initial plan. The Third Plan (1938 - 42) was suspended by the Second World War. The fourth is from 1946 to 1950, the fifth is from 1951 to 1955.
