This is a document that presents Stalin's view on ongoing industrialization during 1931. It relates to our talks on industrialization and the five year plans, and adds Stalin's view on the 1931 output as well as projected output at that time. It only provides the view of Stalin, however, who created these plans and made orders but played no part in the actual collection or the counting of materials. He may have been given false numbers, or he may have even made up the numbers himself. The document comes from a reputable book used in a public school system which shows reliability, but the book was published in 1955. This is before the downfall of the USSR, only a short while after Stalin's rise to power and is during the Cold War.
