The Lvov Provincial ViTntorg Directorate
1. The Lvov Provincial Voentorg Directorate (Okrushnoe
Upravlene Voentorga) was situated at 16 Ploshchad Koahchushky in
Lvov. The Vdentorg had been subordinate to the All-Union Ministry
of Trade until 1955, when it was transferred to the quartermaster
branch of the Soviet forces (Intendantura Prikarpatekovo Voennovo
Okruga), situated in a four-story building on Vatutina Street,
near the Military District Headquarters. It also had a branch
at 3 or 5 Kraezewekiego Street (new street name unknown).
2. The Lvov Provincial Vdentorg Directorate supplied all
units stationed within the Carpathian Military District
(Prikarpatakiy Voenniy Okrug). It was in charge of the city

V(:6torg directorates (Gcrodakoe Upravlene Vosntorga), each of
which consisted of three departments:
a. Restaurant department, for all cities and large
units.
b. Ccmnaercial department, which maintained shops and
kiosks in large tarns and units, where fancy-goods were sold
to military personnel.
c. Department of industry and services. This depart-
ment maintained clothing and foodstuff factories whose
products were sold in the Vobntorg shops, and it also ran
tailor shops, shoemaker shops, and similar establishments.
3. Among the factories subordinate to the Lvov Provincial
VoIntorg Directorate was the military hosiery factory in Lvov.
This factory was located on Bernarcjrna Square, near the Galitskiy
Bazar; it occupied only the first floor of the building. The
factory supplied the Soviet forces with scarves, socks, gloves,
and puttees, among other items. It employed about 120 workers
in three shifts. Built after World War II, the factory was
equipped with machinery which had been brought from Germany as
booty. The machines processed about five tons of yard every

Agriculture in the Ternopol Oblast
1. In 1957 the grain yield in the Ternopol Oblast amounted
to 300,000-320,000 tons. Each member of a kolkhoz received
2-2.5 kg of grain, six rubles in cash, and about 0.25 kg of sugar
per working day (Trudoden). Up to 1958 the grain which the
kolkhozes were required to furnish the government fell into four
categories:
a. Compulsory quotas.
(1) The compulsory quotas (0biazatelnpre Postavki)
were fixed by the Party and Ministry of Agriculture
according to the quality of the land, which was divided
into three grades, and according to the economic position
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/02 : CIA-RDP80T00246AO52100400001-8
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/02 : CIA-RDP80T00246AO52100400001-8
of the kolkhoz; the latter also had three classifications,
based on the kolkhoz' productive ability, organization,
and distance from the rayon center. After the kolkhozes
had been graded, they were required to submit a quota
(70 percent edible grain, 25 percent fodder and five per-
cent pods) according to its classification:
(a) Class A kolkhoz - 220 kg per hectare
(b) Class B kolkhoz - 180 kg per hectare
(c) Class C kolkhoz - 160 kg per hectare
There were no protests against the quotas since they
constituted only 10-15 percent of the total yield, which
was high in the Ternopol Oblast.
(2) Grain collection was administered by the secre-
taries of the rayon Party committees. The total amount
of compulsory quotas was submitted to each rayon and the
secretary of the rayon Party committee then fixed the
quota for each kolkhoz, which in turn planned its sowing
accordingly. As a rule, the secretaries fixed quotas
higher than required by the government so as to ensure
the overall fulfilment of the plan as well as to create

a certain reserve in case one of the kolkhozes failed to
reach its quota.
b. Sale of grain to the government.
(1) While there was no opposition in principle to
the aforementioned compulsory quotas, the kolkhozes
strongly resisted the edict compelling them to sell the
remainder of their grain to the government. These sales,
although ostensibly voluntary, were planned with great
exactitude and the oblast and rayon Party committees were
responsible for fulfilling them. To ensure fulfillment
of the sales plans, the secretaries supplied the directors
of the rayon grain stores (Rayzagotzerno) with lists of
the quantities each kolkhoz had to sell to the goverment.
When handing over the compulsory quota, part of it was
put down as a sale, compelling the kolkhoz to supply
additional grain in order to fulfill its quota. If the
chairman of the kolkhoz complained, the director of the
grain store would refer him to the rayon Party secretary,
stating that he was acting on the latter's orders. The
chatinan did not dare dispute such orders and thus helped
to cover up the "blackmail".

(2) Wheat was purchased from the kolkhozes at 90 rubles
per 50 kg, as compared to 200-220 rubles on the free market.
The kolkhozes hid large quantities of grain and discovery
of this by the Party authorities resulted in the dismissal
of the chairman of the kolkhoz and, if he was directly
involved, in his expulsion from the Party. The rayon Party
secretaries employed harsh means to enforce the sales.
They carried out periodic inspections in the kolkhoz grain
st6res and if any grain was found in addition to the
compulsory quota, the kolkhoz was forced to sell it to
the government.
c. Payment for MTS services.
Up to 1958, when the machine tractor stations (MTS)
were abolished, the kolkhozes were required to pay with
grain for all the work done for them by the stations
(Naturoplata). There was a fixed amount of grain which
the kolkhoz had to pay for each type of work, e.g.,
Class A kolkhozes paid 24 kgs of grain per hectare for
deep plowing. Continuous arguments went on between the
kolkhozes and the MTS regarding the quality of work done,

and the former constantly complained about the low perform-
ance of the agricultural machinery.
d. Payment for the loan of seeds.
The kolkhozes would borrow seeds at the approach of the
sowing season. They were forced to return the quantity of
seeds received, plus 12 percent interest per 50 kg, as well
as make a payment of two rubles per 50 kg for administrative
expenses.
2. The Ternopol Oblast had 23 stores (Zagotzerno) for the grain
which the kolkhozes delivered to the government. These stores were
located in Ternopol, Byelobozhnitsa, BerezharW, Mikulintay, Terebovlya,
Kopychintsa, Chortkov, Buchack, Tolstoye, Zaleshchiki, Denisov-
Kirichintse, Kozova, Podgaytse, Podvolochisk, Zbarazh, Zborov,
Krasnoarmeysk, Lanovtse, Karnachevka, Borshchovka, Skala-Podolska,
Ivani-Pusti, and Monastyrishche.
3. In 1957 the objective was to equal the United States in
the field of pig raising and dairy products. To this end, several
fertile districts in the Ternopol Oblast undertook to raise 1,200 kg
of pork and 16 milk cows on each hectare of land at their disposal,
as well as to reach an average yield of 2,400 liters of milk per
cow per annum.

4. In 1958 it was decided to close down the MTS throughout
the USSR and to transfer the machinery to the kolkhozes for their
use. The first step in reducing the number of agricultural admin-
istrative and instructive institutions was the closing down of the
rayon agricultural offices (Rayzo-Rayonnye Zemelnye Otdely). All
the specialists in the various branches of agriculture concentrated
in these offices had already been transferred to kolkhozes in 1957,
with the exception of one specialist in each branch who was trans-
ferred to the MTS. The political departments of the MTS were also
dissolved and replaced by the secretary of the MTS workers' Party
cell, who became an employee of the rayon Party committee.
5. Liquidation of the MTS required much planning if the equip-
ment were not to go to waste. Transfer dates and the duration of
the process were planned for each republic and oblast, with first
priority being given to industrialized districts where metal workers
and mechanics could be found. Party member from industrial concerns
were to be recruited and sent to the kolkhozes to assist them in
the use and maintenance of the machinery, and to organize maintenance
and repair shops there.
6. All plans for transfer of equipment and the liquidation of
the MTS were ready at the beginning of 1958. Plans for allocation

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2010/07/02 : CIA-RDP80T00246A052100400001-8
S
of equipment to kolkhozes in all oblasts and rayons according to
their size and other needs were read but not yet put in operation.
The "ITS directors were bitterly opposed to the plan, especially
since the stations had received much new and modern equipment
during the past few years. (In the Ternopol Oblast alone, five
new MTS were built and fitted with the newest equipment in 1957.)
The MTS directors were very dubious as to the ability of the
kolkhozes to maintain the equipment and make good use of it. The
kolkhozes, for their part, were none too happy at the idea of
receiving the machinery and being responsible for it, a fact which
would necessitate maintaining workshops and training personnel for
its upkeep.
7. The liquidation of the MTS was not total, however, as they
will be replaced by government workshops for basic repairs of
agricultiral machinery. In early 1958 it was not yet clear under
what conditions these workshops would repair the kolkhoz machinery
and how the latter wouldpay for it.

Miscellaneous Information on Uzhgorod
1. In mid-1957 Uzhgorod (N 1L8-38, E 22-17) had a population
of about 100,000, as compared to the prewar figure of approximately
30,000. The majority of the inhabitants were Carpatho-Russians,
the remainder being Russians, Ukrainians, and Hungarians. The
main fields of industry in the town were in timber, plywood, and
furniture. There were also a large shoe factory, several wine
cellars, and Jan and fruit preserve factories.
2. The houses in Uzhgorod wve numbered in the usual manner -
odd numbers on one side of the street, even numbers on the other.
The numbers ran consecutively, straight through. all the way to

the end of the street. New construction was confined almost exclu-
sively to the area outside the town limits, where plots were
allotted to anyone wishing to build a residential house. Most
of the houses were made of brick.
3. The following are details on public facilities in Uzhgorod:
a. The town had a well-regulated water system which
adequately supplied all needs, so that the existing artesian
wells were hardly ever used. The central water tower was
located next to the railroad station. The town's sewage was
piped into the Uzh river and as a result, its water was
contaminated. It was planned to remove the sewage outlet
to a more distant location.
b. Uzhgorod had no central gas system, the gas being
supplied in bottles. Gas was not used for street illumination.
c. The electric current used was 220 V, AC. During the
winter there were stoppages in the supply of electricity to
the residential quarters since the power station was not
capable of meeting all demands.
d. Underground communications cableswere laid along
the river bank, opposite the Stalingradskaya Naberezhnay a.

e. Uzhgorod airfield vas situated about seven or eight
km from the town, on the left-hand side of the road to Chop.
The airfield, which had no paved runways, consisted of a
one-story passenger terminal, fuel tanks, and small workshops.
It maintained flights to Moscow.. Kiev, and Lvov.
f. A number of excellent roads led from the town to the
border regions, providing an important communications link
between the USSR on the one hand, and Hungary and Czechoslovakia
on the other. In addition to the railroads, the Zakarpatskaya
region also had a well-developed bus transportation system.
Local transportation in the town was also provided by buses.
4. Because of the location of the town in a border area,
foodstuffs were more abundant than elsewhere. The free market -
called the kolkhoz market - offered all kinds of agricultural
produce. In recent years all restrictions had been lifted on
travel to and from the town. Normal religious facilities were
available to all who were so inclined. The church was active and
services were attended by large crowds. In manner as well as in
dress, the town had retained its Western character. Even Russians
who came to settle in the town from the interior of the USSR had
adopted Western dress.

5. Hungarian nationalism was still extant in the Zakarpatskaya
region. The Hungarians spoke their own language and made no attempt
to learn Russian. The Russian inhabitants of the town did not feel
quite secure, a fact which was particularly obvious during the
Hungarian rebellion. At that time, persons who had taken part in
the uprising were brought to prisons in Uzhgorod and other places
in the Zakarpatskaya region. When the news of their arrival spread
among the local population, a local paper published a letter, signed
by members of the clergy, which stated that the story of Hungarians
having been deported and imprisoned in local jails was completely
false and had been spread by the West. The publication of the
letter caused great excitement and anger among the local population
since they had actually seen groups of prisoners arriving from
Hungary. Lj / I

Miscellaneous Information on Bolekhov
1. Bolekhov (N I9-04, E 23-51), a rayon center in the
Stanislav oblast, had 8,000-10,000 inhabitants, most of whom were
Ukrainians. The Russians who lived in the town came there in
connection with their work.
2. The town center and the railroad station were destroyed
during the war and had not been reconstructed; a wooden hut
served as the passenger terminal. No construction of residential
houses was going on in the town.
3. Industrial enterprises in Bolekhov included a tannery
(Kozhzavod), a salt plant (Solzavod), and two sawmills. The

town's prewar electric power station could not meet all requirements
and at times, particularly in the winter, there were frequent
stoppages in the supply of current.
4. In early 1959 the townspeople of Bolekhov still had to
stand in queues for bread, which was of inferior quality. In this
respect, large towns continued to enjoy priority over small ones.
In Lvov, for example, bread was sold freely in the shops, and the
same was true of sugar during most of the year, whereas in the
small towns one had to queue up for these items.
5. A military cantonment was located in the Koloniya quarter
of the town, on the left-hand side of the road leading to the
village of Chisov. It contained only wooden barracks which accom-
modated a tank unit, probably a part of the regiment stationed
in Stryy. The cantonment also included a military hospital for
the unit.
6. The following individuals were residents of Bolekhov:
a. Capt. Beztrusky (fnu) had been deputy commandant of
