The Five Year Plan - the third

The aim was to prepare for war

  • One third of government spending went towards the weapons and the military in 1940
  • 1939 - 9 new aircraft factories were set up
  • 1941 Stalin took control in preparation for war
  • Russia was a super power
The Result

  • Highly industrialised and urbanised
  • Russia was ready for war
  • But living standards were compromised
  • Economy didn't improve much
