Passage 3 below. 
 
Soviet’s New Working Week
 
Historian investigates how Stalin changed the calendar to keep the Soviet people continually at 
work 
A.
 
“There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm”. With these words, Stalin 
expressed the dynamic self-
confidence of the Soviet Union’s Five Year Plan: weak and 
backward Russia was to turn overnight into a powerful modern industrial country. 
Between 1928 and 1932, production of coal, iron and steel increased at a fantastic 
rate, and new industrial cities sprang up, along with the world’s biggest dam. 
Everyone’s life was affected, as collectivised farming drove millions from the land to 
swell the industrial proletariat. Private enterprise disappeared in city and country, 
leaving the State supreme under the dictatorship of Stalin. Unlimited enthusiasm was 
the mood of the day, with the Communists believing that iron will and hard-working 
manpower alone would bring about a new world.
