for town and country alike the imminent danger of absolute ruin. The Russian Communist Party therefore regards the putting an end to this separation as one of the fundamental tasks of communist constructive policy. In addition to the general measures it advocates, it considers essential: the widespread and purposive attraction of industrial workers to communally conducted agricultural occupations; the development of the activity of the Workers’ Committee of Collaboration (a branch of State activity already instituted by the Soviet Power); and similar measures.[§113.]
In all its work in the rural districts, the Russian Communist Party primarily relies for support upon the proletarian and semi-proletarian strata of these regions. It organises them, first of all, as an independent force, forming branches of the party in the villages, organisations of the poor peasants, a peculiar type of trade unions for the rural proletarians and semi-proletarians, etc. bringing these rural workers everywhere into close relations with the urban proletariat, and enfranchising them from the influence of the rural bourgeoisie and of the petty-proprietary interests.
