Fancy backgrounds
S. Balakovo. Winter this year gives everyone to feel: it began very early by strong frosts, which continue to keep without the slightest empties. For too two months already, as Winter has been established, and there was not a single thaw. And if it is added to this that in general the snow in the fields are still a bit, then the fear for the future crop of wintering, which can freeze. Of course, to speak now about the future, the yield is premature, and I don't want to assume anything bad: so our province has been suffering from an accident for several years in a row. In some places, the economic welfare of the population fell to such an extent, which seems to be foreseen the possibilities and raise it! Many peasants were completely upset by the economy, so they are strongly unable to lead him, and then root the case of a terrible debt of the population, which in her suffered due to the latter years of the latter years, as a result of which the land had to issue loans for food and to an interference of the fields. We have parishes that have been a loan from the land for the fifth year, so they are expressed by a very solid number. You can imagine how difficult it is to recover and pay with the debts.

Sading nose

Decisive congress
The opening fourth district congress of the Soviets must resolve a number of major issues and outline practical activities that ensure the successful implementation of the third, decisive year of the five-year plan, which is mainly constructed to build the foundation of the socialist economy.
This congress is the first after the elimination of the districts. In a short time after the elimination of the districts, the area showed combat capability in resolving all economic and political campaigns.
Along with the indisputable achievements of our area there are disadvantages. In a number of village councils, the most important events have not yet been fulfilled (boning, mobilization of funds, collaboration there are breakthroughs in preparation for spring). Many tips (Majang, Elanc, Matveyevka) did not turn more seriously to collectivization.
The District Congress of Soviets with merciless self-criticism should open all the shortcomings in the work of the Soviet apparatus in order to strengthen the advice on the struggle for the general line of the party, resolutely cleaning the Soviet apparatus from the Right-Porting Elements and Primirents to them, and also be horribified by "left" tolers Right opportunism.
