The flourising collective farms of the Crimea, which were levelled to the ground by the Germans and many of the residents murdered, are beginning to revive, according to a report made public here today.
It reveals that already four farms – New Dawn, Sverdlov, Voroshilov and Polotov – have resumed operation. Before the Nazi invasion these four were among the best in the Soviet Union, and garnered many prizes at all-Union agricultural exhabits. Electric power has been restored and cattle and seed have been obtained with credits furnished by the government.
