"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

Stakhanov even had a town named after him, where a statue of him was
raised. Stakhanov died in 1977 at 71 years of age.
Stalin intended to uniform the population. Different groups (workers,
intellectuals, party functionaries and others) were to wear special overalls
in symbolic colours. But the foreign sponsors had no desire to pay for this
project and so the idea was shelved. After the Second World War, Stalin
succeeded in uniforming at least a part of the population: railwaymen,
guards and the militia wore blue soldier-shirts (gimnastyorkas). School
pupils had to wear grey soldier-shirts while the pupils at vocational
schools had to wear black shirts. The Communists in North Korea and
China decreed that nearly the entire society should be uniformed.
Incrcasing American Support
Rockefeller paid particular attention to the build-up of the Soviet war-
machine. American experts admitted that Communism was in danger
again and would have collapsed if the first five-year plan had not been
financcd from the United States. The Americans continued financing them
also later, despite the fact that the ignorance of the Russians constantly
presented new problems. American money continued to breathe life into
this fragile, inefficient and brutal system, despite all the difficulties.
A contract was concluded with the Ford Motor Company on the 1st of
May 1930. Ford promised to spend 30 million dollars (approximately 600
million dollars today) to build up the Soviet automobile industry. And so
the Americans built a Ford factory in Nizhny Novgorod, which was called
the Molotov factory and had already begun producing 140 000 cars per
year by 1932, including the GAZ-A (Ford-A).
The freemason Henry Ford had previously made sure that the Russian
workers had been given good work experience in his factories in the
United States. He also donated equipment. Americans ran the factory for
the first few years. Ford later built factories in Ulyanovsk, Odessa and
Pavlovsk, where also tanks were produced. 10 million dollars in wages
were paid to the Americans each year.
The American Electric Boat Company and British and Italian compa-
nies began helping the Soviet Union to build submarines in 1930. The
Soviet air force was built entirely with foreign capital in the 1930s.
