Collectivization in the People's Republic of Poland

Collectivization in the People's Republic of Poland

Collectivization in the People's Republic of Poland was a policy pursued during the Stalinist period, from 1948 till the liberalization of 1956.

Poland was the only country of the Eastern Bloc where large scale collectivization was a failure.

Legacy of the collectivization in Poland was the network of inefficient State Agricultural Farms (PGRs), many of which can still be seen in the countryside of modern Poland.
