More DescriptionThe difficult years of Moscow in 1931-34 witnessed enormous social change in the city and the region. Industrialisation drive and collectivisation of agriculture resulted in unpredicted social upheavals on which new local leaders like Kaganovich, Khrushchev and Malenkov had to cope with.
