Plenty of Food Across Volga District Despite Hard Times
The Associated Press reports excellent rural conditions in the Volga region as peasants consume rather than sell because money is nearly valueless. In Nijinovgorod, Simbirsk, Samara, and Saratoff, 7,000 cattle serve a 6,000 population, with land largely owned by peasants. Government requisitions face some opposition, yet per capita flour, milk, and eggs are controlled. German communes near Marxstadt show organized districts, while taxes and reform provoke mixed peasant sentiment. Industrial sites like Niminovgorod’s metal works, flour mills, and canneries run at capacity, though salt and fats are scarce in towns. River traffic back on Volga could boost fuel supply, with oil deliveries already substantial this season.
