In 1934, the USSR joined the international organization. Didactic units

As a result, the League of Nations organization emerged, designed to streamline the most current issues international relations.

The idea of ​​including the USSR in the League of Nations was periodically discussed by members of the organization, but was considered a matter of the distant future. Thus, in December 1920, members of the League supported the position of Swiss representative D. Mott that Russia “is a people in a state of ferment,” and its rulers show disrespect for the League and its members. Taking into account the revolutionary events and subsequent civil war in Russia this position seems fair. Italy, in which it will be established in the 30s. The fascist regime, through its delegate Viviani, outlined its position: free and democratic countries united in the League will wait for Russia to come to democratic transformations, “outside of which there is only anarchy and despotism.” The Bolsheviks' ideas about world revolution and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat only worsened their relationship with the League.

In the mid-20s. In European diplomacy, thoughts about Russia's entry into the League began to appear. The Chairman of the League Assembly, Japanese K. Ishii, noted in 1923: “The League of Nations will not have of great importance until it includes America, Germany and Russia.” An interesting fact is that the beginning of the adjustment of one’s own positions coincided with the deployment in Russia of the New Economic Policy, which was based on commodity-money relations, i.e., in fact, capitalism.

For its part, the USSR also gradually changed its diplomatic rhetoric towards the League - from sharply negative and even rude to critical only of certain principles of relations between the member states of the organization and the articles of the League Charter. Despite the USSR's decrease in the degree of rejection of this organization, the question of accession was not resolved positively.

USSR Plenipotentiary Representative in France H. G. Rakovsky was sure: “The question of joining the League of Nations is a question of the balance of forces. With their current distribution, the League of Nations is an organization that will tie us both hand and foot, and where the capitalist states will dictate to us.” The Politburo agreed with Rakovsky. In the existing one in the 20s. international political situation, the USSR refused to join this organization.

The situation changed by the 1930s:

  1. Totalitarian regimes came to power in Germany, Italy and Japan.
  2. In the Versailles-Washington system, which functioned successfully after the First World War, economic, political and social problems accumulated to a critical threshold.
  3. "Revanchist" sentiments of the first losers world war countries affect the interests of many European states.
  4. In 1933, Japan and Germany left the organization.
  5. There is no security system.

Germany’s “revanchism” affected the interests of France, which, in order to strengthen its positions, invited the USSR to join the League of Nations.

As a result of the serious diplomatic work of France and the USSR, in an interview with a correspondent of one of the American newspapers on December 25, 1933.

Card system of supplying the population January 1, 1929 - January 1, 1935

On December 7, 1934, the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated December 7, 1934 N 2684 “On the abolition of the card system for baked bread, flour and cereals and the system for the sale of industrial crops with bread” was issued, published in No. 286 of the Izvestia of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee dated December 8, 1934.
It said:

Based achieved successes development of socialist agriculture, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, in order to further improve the supply of workers and expand trade turnover between city and countryside, decides:

To abolish the rationing system for baked bread, flour and cereals from January 1, 1935 and to expand everywhere the sale of baked bread, flour and cereals from state and cooperative stores on the following grounds:

I.
On the introduction of unified state retail prices for bread and cereals.

In order to abolish the current high commercial and too low standardized retail prices for baked bread, flour and cereals, establish from January 1, 1935, unified national state retail prices for baked bread, flour and cereals...


***
The expansion of socialist industrialization, and subsequently the socialist reconstruction of agriculture, gave rise to a number of new phenomena in trade turnover and the state of money circulation. The price scale and level have changed wages and other monetary incomes of the population, the purchasing power of the ruble has changed. These changes mainly occurred during 1929–1935.
The growth of cities in connection with the industrialization of the country, the rapid increase in the number of industrial workers, as well as the need to provide bread to the peasant population in industrial crop areas led to a significant increase in the demand for bread and other food products, as well as for agricultural raw materials. Given the predominance of small-scale farming, characterized by low marketability, and the strong resistance of the kulaks to state grain procurements, this increased demand could not but cause a significant increase in market prices, which posed a serious threat to the purchasing power of the ruble and real wages.
Workers and employees in 1928–1929 They also bought up to 25% of the products they needed on the private market. Meanwhile, market prices of products increased sharply: in the year 1928/29 alone they increased by almost 50%.
As long as the socialist agricultural sector could not yet satisfy the need for consumer products, it was necessary to take measures to maintain real wages and provide workers with bread according to low prices from government reserves. This measure was the introduction of the card system in 1929.
This was a forced measure, without which it was impossible to resolve the immediate tasks of socialist construction. While protecting the ruble from depreciation, the card system at the same time limited the role and meaning of money.
The rationed supply did not fully meet the food needs of the urban population. Market resource utilization was still relatively high, while market prices continued to rise rapidly.
Under these conditions, in order to strengthen the ruble, it was necessary to ensure the further expansion of Soviet trade and the ousting of capitalist elements from the sphere of trade turnover.
In 1931, the private trader, whose share in 1929 accounted for 13.5% of retail turnover, was completely forced out. At the same time, contracting of marketable agricultural products is being widely deployed - new form trade turnover between city and countryside.
A special form of Soviet trade, designed to improve the supply of workers and influence market prices in the direction of their reduction, was state commercial trade at increased prices.
Commercial trade has been widely developed since 1933. Along with collective farm trade, commercial trade was important means maintaining the purchasing power of the ruble. The reduction in prices in commercial trade, which was carried out in a planned manner, led to a general decrease in prices on the collective farm market. Thus, by March 1934, market prices had decreased by more than 45% compared to the same month in 1933. Nevertheless, the prices of the collective farm market and commercial trade were significantly higher than the prices of closed trade.
By the end of 1934, large-scale mechanized production had become established in agriculture. Collective and state farms took a dominant position in agriculture. Serious successes have been achieved in their organizational and economic strengthening. On this basis, the state received at its disposal, both through government supplies and through purchases at increased prices, sufficient a large number of bread in order to fully ensure the supply of the population without cards in open Soviet trade at uniform prices. (Mukhin Yuri Stalin - master of the USSR)

On September 18, 1934, the general meeting of the League of Nations adopted a resolution on the admission of the USSR to the League and the inclusion of its representative in its Council as a permanent member.

The League of Nations is an international organization aimed at developing cooperation between peoples and guaranteeing peace and security, was created after the First World War in 1919. The main bodies of the League of Nations were: Assembly (Assembly sessions were held annually in September and all members of the League participated in their work Nations), the Council of the League of Nations and the permanent secretariat headed by the Secretary General.

The official languages ​​of the League of Nations were French and English.

The Charter of the League, developed by a special commission created at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-1920, and included in the Treaty of Versailles of 1919 and other peace treaties that ended the First World War of 1914-1918, was originally signed with 44 states , including the 31st state that took part in the war on the side of the Entente or joined it, and 13th states that adhered to neutrality during the war. The United States did not ratify the charter of the League of Nations and did not become one of its members.

From the moment of its creation, the League of Nations was one of the centers where anti-Soviet actions of the imperialist powers were planned and developed. The Soviet government fought against attempts by the League of Nations to interfere in the internal affairs of the young Soviet Republic. Nevertheless, it actively participated in conferences and meetings on disarmament held under the auspices of the League of Nations. In the mid-1930s. due to the growing threat from fascist Germany, fascist Italy and militaristic Japan, the governments of some states began to seek cooperation with the USSR both within the framework of the League of Nations and outside it.

On September 15, 1934, thirty delegates of the League of Nations addressed the Soviet government with a telegram inviting the USSR to join the League and “bring its valuable cooperation.” Delegates from four more countries communicated their decision to vote for the admission of the Soviet Union through the usual diplomatic channels. On the same day, the Soviet government responded with a letter to the Chairman of the Assembly accepting the proposal international cooperation in the interests of peace and readiness to become a member of the League.

On September 18, the issue of the USSR joining the League of Nations was considered at a meeting of the Assembly. 39 members of the League voted for the admission of the USSR to the League of Nations, 3 were against (Holland, Portugal and Switzerland), and 7 members abstained from voting. Not a single vote was cast against the inclusion of the USSR in the League Council, but representatives of ten countries abstained. Thus, the USSR was admitted to the League of Nations and became a permanent member of the Council.

Accepting the proposal to join the League of Nations, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR M. M. Litvinov noted that the USSR could not identify with all the decisions of the League of Nations and considered its Charter far from perfect. In particular, the 12th and 15th articles in some cases legalize war, and the 23rd does not provide for racial equality of all peoples. He said that Soviet Union The idea of ​​uniting nations is quite understandable, since the USSR itself is a League of Nations, with 185 nationalities living in it.
