The First Tractor

The First Tractor

"The First Tractor" is the name of several Socialist realist paintings and other works of art that portray the beginning of collectivisation in the USSR.

The subject of the work of art is typically a Fordson tractor, the first agricultural tractor imported and then manufactured in the Soviet Union. The depicted tractor acted as a symbol of the advantages of agricultural mechanisation and collectivisation. Because tractorisation was state policy in the Soviet Union, the paintings had a propaganda function.
