“Nothing in contemporary Russia is more interesting or significant for the future than the change in the Russian peasant which the increasing success of collectivization is producing… . As the peasants have been induced to join the collectives, a change in attitude has appeared. They find themselves for the first time on the way to becoming an economic and therefore political power. Where, previously, the complaints of a single peasant were merely disregarded and his grain seized, now the complaints of a thousand peasants banded together in a great collective are at least heard … now his interests are recognized, the price differential is narrowed, and the State concerns itself more and more with his well being.” —From “The Eternal Peasant” FORTUNE March 1932
