Resources per turn 190+5+15+5+5 = 220 with 0+200 in storage.
Party Support 50+10+10+10+5-30 = 55
Infrastructure
Buildup of Rail Stock(Coal): There is currently a considerable lack of proper rail rolling stock in the Union, with the current models of trains being mostly insufficient. However, an option that is not considered is the simple licensing of a western designed train. Obtaining a simple boiler system would provide a considerable capacity upgrade to current designs and be produced in local plants. (10 Resources per dice (102+0/200))
The old Leningrad rail plant spurs to life with a massive new quantity of orders for modernized locomotives. These new locomotives are based on imported boiler designs with considerable improvements in range and efficiency per ton of coal. While they do not match the new Diesel prototypes' performance obtained from Germany, these work reasonably well and should prove to be a reliable design as the new standard-issue locomotive. Production is not massive, but they are being issued in bulk across over a dozen distribution networks to provide a steady driving force.
Buildup of the Riverine Fleet: With the new locks on the Dneiper river, it is time to build up a fleet of transport barges to allow bulk resources to flow more quickly through the union. The buildup of barges on all of the rivers in the Union would take a considerable amount of pressure off of the rail network, allowing it to be adequate for a bit longer. These barges and harbor systems would not be the fanciest but would provide a considerable capability improvement. (93+80/120) (Complete)
The new mass production of a standard heavy barge has created a significant improvement in naval production. The program is also accompanied by the ongoing construction of port infrastructure to allow efficient loading and unloading. While the barges are limited to single river networks and cannot traverse the sea, they are a cheap platform with a massive capacity. However, the principal route is deliveries up and down the Volga river allowing a massive quantity of coal to be delivered through the system, with manufactured goods shipped back down. The Dneiper route is also established to ensure steady supplies of coal all over the region, allowing fewer trains for the transportation of coal.
Heavy Industry
Locomotive Plants: A series of moderately sized locomotive plants is needed to construct additional rail stock and engine maintenance throughout the Union. These would allow for far more significant railway expansion and updates, with the possibility of using licensed Western models to bootstrap a considerable amount of progress on the domestic locomotive design. These plants could be committed to either steam or diesel trains, but the near-unanimous scientific opinion is that coal will do until a rework of the railway system is needed. (44+77/100) (Complete) (5 Resources per Turn)
A massive quantity of machinery is ordered in from Uralmash to train trains on a large scale. The empty facilities with rail connections are refurbished and provided with a large set of welding equipment and steady link-ups for parts. The apprenticeship program was also utilized fully for these plants, with the breakup of multiple shifts from the old Locomotive plants into the new ones, to allow the new labor to be trained on how to construct the new trains more optimally. Production will still take some time to ramp up, but the new models of IS trains should prove to be a significant improvement to all cargo rail.
Stalingrad Tractor Plant: There is a considerable need for a new tractor model along with a greater amount of tractor production for the union, with the current models performing poorly. This, however, does not have to mean importing the tractors wholesale. Through the multitude of German acquisitions, a considerable amount of improvements can be made on current tractor models. Instead, the up to date tractors can be copied over and implemented for Soviet uses. (238+0/150) (Complete) (15 Resources per Turn)
Through the acquisitions of multiple designs from German companies, many improvements are made to domestic tractor production. With new engines and equipment produced for the factory, a considerable improvement in the tractors' power output can be secured. These will then be made in large standardized lots to ensure that steadily all farmers in the Union could access a tractor when the fields must be plowed. It will be a long, large project, but the farmers' mechanization will secure untold quantities of labor with time.
Khazak Phosphate Mine Expansion: These larger fertilizer prospects are critical for improving the Union's agricultural state and would save a considerable amount of resources on importing foreign fertilizer. Domestic production would ensure a steady supply of fertilizers to the farmers, allowing for far increased yields. However, there will need to be an education campaign to train the farmers on how exactly to farm with new tools. (51+179/200) (Complete) (5 Resources per Turn)
The last of the open pit Phosphate mines are dug in the region with massive industrial enterprises springing up to ensure that the Soviet fertilizer production can be maintained on domestic reserves. While the pit mines are not the healthiest with considerable injury rates, they are producing massive quantities of phosphate for the union, which is rapidly incorporated into fertilizer mixes and shipped all over the Union. While more power is needed to increase nitrogen-fixing capacity, these mines shall provide a baseline for the production of additional fertilizer, and additional crops.
Light and Chemical Industry
Baku Oil Extraction(Stage 2): The expansion of the oil fields will continue to be done with the production from Uralmash, guaranteeing a reliable internal baseline for equipment. With the pumping of a greater amount of oil, yet larger systems of refineries can be supplied. These new derricks will start to properly utilize the field and produce sufficient oil for steady-state utilization if cut off from exports. (5 Party Influence) (183+27/200) (Complete) (5 Resources per Turn)
Through the workers' monumental effort and the production of a massive quantity of machinery from Uralmash, the fields are rapidly tapped with derricks and drills being put into use by the day. A considerable quantity of this oil cannot be refined domestically, but it can still be exported in bulk, allowing some foreign currency to be obtained from the endeavor. The party has now prioritized expanding the refineries and ensuring that products' highest value can be made for use in the domestic economy.
Kazak Textile Mills: With the massive amounts of cotton and wool produced in the Southern republic, it would make perfect sense to construct a series of large textile mills to allow for the easy processing of the fiber into new uniforms and clothes for the people of the Union. Another un-glamorous but essential project that, in theory, allows every citizen to have a wardrobe all on their own. (151+0/50) (Complete) (5 Resources per Turn)
Textile mills' construction receives an utterly massive quantity of resources and goods from the party as the production priority is clear, increasing the processing rate of cotton. Day by day, small mills and fabric dying facilities start to dot the landscape with steady production and quality improvement. One of the largest textile production areas is constructed over a few months, with a massive staff hired for the installation. The inexperienced work-crews make multiple mistakes as the mills first startup, but with time the output and quality should steadily improve, allowing further production of clothing for the workers of the Union.
Book Printing Plants: While the production of books is generally a matter of minutia, the current lack of cheap printed works has a considerable impact on education. The output of a few standardized mass printing plants will allow a far more significant amount of educational and recreational literature to be made for the workers, ensuring that they remain happy and well-read. (48+0/40) (Complete) (Aditional Library Options Added)
A notable series of mass printing plants are made near Moscow to ensure that a steady supply of domestic works can be secured, ensuring that every school will at the minimum, have a full set of books and textbooks. Most of the works are sanitized for the party line, but the new massive production should still affect literacy. With these industrial plants, it should also be easy to improve the library network's state in the Union.
Agriculture
Education for the Farmers(Political): The lack of proper class knowledge and class consciousness of the peasant farmers has created large rifts in society and has created incorrect and misapplied political theory issues. Through large education programs to teach the peasants the proper way to think, class consciousness can be encouraged, allowing more of them to be enabled to become workers without the expensive task of educating them. While this would not be useful for yields, keeping the peasants informed of their tasks' importance would at least improve their morale. (10 Party Influence) (108+0/100) (Complete)
Through the previously made education network, a considerable amount of party propaganda on the worker's state and the world is included in the courses. While the farmers are far less attentive to these segments, the overall take up a small amount of time. From the farmer's perspective, these presentations are treated as a nation's history that they are getting taught as an aside to farming measures. This causes these classes not to be that popular, but still attended due to the relative lack of news and things to do in small villages when not in the harvest or planting season.
Harsh Land Reform: The need for land reform is great as there is a desperate need for re-arranging the farmers into more productive lots while taking away the gains of the speculators. A campaign of encouraging the transfer of "soil to the tillers". In practice, this would be a breakup of landlord peasants owning a considerable amount of land into smaller farms to ensure that even the poorest of peasants can farm on new land. This will break up the largest estates, but leave most of the kulaks free with no cost to them. This would also be a massive break from the party line and necessitate a long conversation with comrade Stalin to ensure that the policy is implemented properly. Such a change will change the party line and has the tentative support of a few scientists' tentative support as the best way to break up the large unpopular estates. (-30 Party Influence) (168+0/50) (Mini-vote creating the new party line) (Stops collectivization) (Complete)
The start of the land reform proposal was authored by many scientists working under the head department, while under cover of darkness and anonymity. Every word of the document, every bit of the plan was made in a dark smoky room mostly for relaxation, all to keep below notice, but not to attract notice by doing so. This easy part of the endeavor takes almost a week and is done slowly and carefully by two separate teams to make sure that at least one document can make it out. However, the pitch of such a proposal to Stalin takes a considerably more significant amount of effort. Such a pitch would be the by far riskiest part of the entire endeavor as one wrong word, or one wrong step could forfeit the whole department's lives. The conversation started akin to every other meeting with the man, imposing his will upon the room. Still, the idea was floated carefully, leaving the choice fully up to him, as if you were offering options. With a small smile followed by a shake of the hand and a simple puff of his cigar, the policy was changed. It was left unspoken that the left radicals on the party were in opposition in other matters and that such a change would allow them to be rapidly tried for sabotage of the agricultural system. Thus, begins the housecleaning.
However, you could also bring up an additional policy that could change the party line even more, but you walk on dangerous ground.
[]Treating the peasants as workers: What difference does a peasant that performs mechanized agriculture on a cooperative have to a worker of the proletariat? They both utilize machines not owned by them and work on state-owned land. Are they not a worker in all but name? (Massive change to the party line, less adversarial on peasants, massive push for mechanization and state-owned cooperatives.)(-20 Party Support)
[]Keep your mouth shut: You have already pushed far enough of policy to quit while ahead, collectivization has been called off, no need to do more.

Expansion of Pioneer Programs: The party's youth sections are in great need of expansion to ensure that a steady stream of new students can join them. The number of new young party members can be greatly improved by expanding schools and facilities, giving them later experience for later life. These programs will also educate them on the finer points of sports and encourage them to pursue careers in the sciences to ensure a steady stream of new leaders. (10 Party Influence upon completion, 5 Resources per dice (49+0/100))
Through the expansion of multiple training camps for young pioneers and the addition of a class into a standard educational curriculum, massive growth of the red pioneers slowly occurs. Numerous new cadres are formed in schools all over the nation, with the program allowing an easy path to party membership. While the program's implementation has not been complete, it so far has not caused any forms of protest or poor response.
Start Glorification of Overachieving Workers: Through a heavy focus on the workers that exceed their targets and their use as propaganda icons, other workers' production and morale should be improved. Through these workers' glorification and awards for labor, overall productivity should be steadily increased as this information disseminates. This movement should also focus on ramping up productivity across multiple enterprises to ensure that the plan's targets can more easily be met. (10 Party Influence) (134+0/50) (Complete)
Through the use of proper workers propaganda, almost four hundred workers across many fields are selected. They are then put up as the very examples of productivity, with them overfilling their quota by large amounts through a greater commitment to their work and new efficient methods. A few are even chosen for their progress through the Apprenticeship system, with them receiving multiple ovations for new personnel's excellent training. The campaign even proves to be reasonably popular, with it steadily printed in Pravda with exemplary workers featured. While there is a small increase in productivity, this increase is only enough to fund the program.
With the over fulfillment of his coal quota by over four-fold in the course of a single shift, tovarish Prokopiy Morozov has been shown as an example for all workers to follow. With such heroic labor and efforts, the Union can prevail and reach communism.

Bureaucracy
Additional State Funding: The plan needs an additional influx of cash to accomplish the initial objectives before the yet more significant industry can be constructed. To achieve such gains in resources, it may be wise to dip into the state reserve of currency to ensure that a steady stream of new assets can flow into the Union and ensure that development can occur. Such action would be a risky option as the loss of these reserves can cause significant currency fluctuations, but it would be challenging to accelerate the plan considerably without them. (200 Resources) (199/DC 50)
The state readily grants the massive request for the plan's fulfillment due to the need for additional reserves for industrial production improvements. While these resources are brought about with considerable risk to the state reserves, the currency has kept relatively stable. While more assets could be acquired, no one is sure how much further the state currency reserves can be leveraged for industrialization.
Find a Scapegoat for Poor Riverboats: There is no need to take the blame for the boats that have managed to sink. It may be far easier just instead to utilize the incident to initiate cleaning inside of the shipyards. The old incompetent idiots are still there, and replacing them with newer, more reliable work crews can significantly improve the quality and build capability. (10 Party Support) (190/DC 30)
During state investigations into the riverboats sinking, multiple confessions are given by the lower workers. Due to these confessions, it was discovered that many of the craft had multiple alcohol smuggling secret compartments bored into the hulls. Such an effort was a clear cause of the lack of seaworthiness, leading to a massive series of arrests over the entire system. With only these workers cleared from suspicion, a wide net is cast over the other yards' staff to ensure that they fulfill their duties and work obligations, finding over a thousand workers guilty of aiding, assisting, or abetting the smuggling effort.

We were a fresh new drilling crew recruited up from Kharkov, with the party officials looking for recent university graduates willing to work in the chemical industry. Who would I be to not sign up for such a position? Well, I should have asked for the details. Its a hot hell down here pumping up the oil, the pumps are unreliable, there is a constant problem what to do with the ever-growing quantity of oil, and its so goddam hot.

After my job in the kitchens was finished out the party official offered a new job with better conditions and better pay. Or, such was said. We got shuttled out to a small factory processing masses of cotton for production into cloth in practice. The job was repetitive, the factory floor was hot, but the amount of pay taken home at least got better.
