"... The fast German advance during Operation Barbarossa in 1941 came as a total surprise to the Red Army. Swift relocation or escape was no domain of the STALINETZ S-65 - equipped units. With a full load, such as this Br-5 280mmt racked mortar and on soft soil, the top speed of the train could easily drop to 3 km/hr

... would it be fair to say that the industrial resources and industrialization of Soviet agriculture post 1933, represnted by the S-65 Stalinetz tractor, was the "dividend" the Soviets received from the atrocities of collectivization and the eradication of the Kulaks ..?

The third man from the left seems unhappy. Is it the formation, the camera or the hand on his shoulder?
