%X Since the late 1960s and early 1970s, inter-enterprise cooperation and agro-industrial integration have become the most intensely discussed subjects in Soviet agricultural management and organization. Whether among Soviet leaders or in academic circles, discussions of agricultural issues almost invariably touched upon these topics. In 1976, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union adopted a special resolution entitled Further Development of Specialization and Concentration of Agricultural Production on the Basis of Inter-Enterprise Cooperation and Agro-Industrial Integration. The resolution described inter-enterprise cooperation and agro-industrial integration as a “fundamentally new solution” for improving the management and organization of agricultural production, the “main direction for the further development of agriculture,” and a “major task for the entire nation and the entire Party.” In practical work, different regions and agricultural sectors throughout the Soviet Union were carrying out major reorganizations in various forms under this general policy, a process referred to as a “qualitative transformation.” This is a subject worthy of careful study.The promotion of inter-enterprise cooperation and agro-industrial integration represented a continuation and development of the reforms in Soviet agricultural management initiated in the mid-1950s. Under the specific conditions of the Soviet Union, the emergence of this policy had a certain objective necessity.The development of Soviet agriculture followed a tortuous path. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, Soviet agriculture underwent complete collectivization. Numerous scattered small peasant farms were merged into collective farms, creating a socialist large-scale agricultural system. Socialist production relations opened broad possibilities for the development of productive forces. Nevertheless, Soviet agriculture stagnated for a long period. As late as 1953, Soviet grain production
