Editorial: Soviet farm incentives fail to fix food supply
The piece argues fifty years of Marxist farming policy failed to boost Russian food. It notes collectivization harmed peasants, state farms underperformed, and private plots yield more. It cites mechanization by Stalin, imports of wheat, and recent moves to raise prices and reward private plot production, warning of a future market transition.

Western observers see a lean toward such a gathering in 1970, with a plan to form a working group on troop reductions after agreeing to renounce the use of force. Public sentiment favors talks, but cautions about East German influence remain.
