Elena A. Osokina, A hierarchy of poverty. In the late 1920's and early 1930's, the development of forced industrialization in the USSR led to the disorganization of the market and to the state control of the economy. It Ls from this period that the state began to distribute material goods in society, giving priority to industry. The state supply of food and common consumer goods during the 1930's, while guaranting the vital needs of the population, coastituted one of the main foundation blocks in the establishment of a new social order. This article analyzes the government policy of food supply and shows that the first "state founded on social equality" in history presented a social stratification based on a hierarchy of poverty. The rural population was condemned to starvation by the state, while a majority of the urban population, including the pioneers of industry, was constantly undernourished. Even the ruling class, which possessed in its own country far more power than the élite of Western countries, was barely able, as far as material comforts were concerned, to reach the upper middle class standard of living in capitalist societies.
