Скачать или смотреть Soviets Mocked Henry Ford's Fordson Tractor - Then Copied It To Feed 30 Million

In the 1920s, the Soviet Union faced a desperate food crisis, yet they initially mocked Henry Ford’s "Fordson" tractor as a symbol of Western capitalism. This video explores the fascinating irony of how the USSR went from ridiculing American engineering to becoming obsessed with it.

After realizing their agrarian economy couldn’t survive on ideology alone, the Soviets imported over 25,000 Fordsons, eventually dismantling and reverse-engineering the machines to create the "Krasny Putilovets." This massive industrial pivot wasn't just about machinery; it was a survival tactic to feed 30 million starving citizens and kickstart Stalin’s Five-Year Plan.
