Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. For nearly thirty years, from the late 1920s to the late 1950s, the keystone of the entire Soviet collective farm system was the network of MTS (machine-tractor stations) which owned, operated, and repaired heavy farm machinery for the surrounding farms. The MTS played a fundamental role in the development of the political administrative, and ideological, as well as the economic, foundations of Soviet agriculture. Now, years after the demise of the MTS system, its influence can still be discerned in the structural and operational patterns of the agricultural organization. The story of the MTS, of considerable historical interest in its own right, offers numerous vantage points for studying the evolution of Soviet rule in the countryside. **The jacket has several tiny tape-repaired tears at the top and bottom.**.
