  • The Third Five Year Plan, 1938-41
    • Successes of 5YP
      • Rearmament-investment doubled in the years 1938-41
      • Heavy industry-Coal production (128 mill to 166 mill) in 3 years and oil production (29 mill to 31 mill) in 3 years
      • Worker discipline-Internal passports introduced to stop people moving around for more money
    • Failures of 5YP
      • Administration-Purges removed many experienced planners and managers and a full plan was never published
      • Heavy industry-Managers purged led to decline in output of steel (levels lower than first 5YP)
      • Consumer goods-Food rationing introduced and impossible to buy consumer goods
    • Industry by 1941
      • Stalin's plans transformed the country to highly industrialised
      • Emphasising heavy industry and rearmament meant Stalin had laid foundations for victory in WW2
      • Living conditions had been lost in the focus on industry
