Abstract
The article is devoted to reconstruction of the course of elaboration of the Uralo-Siberian method of the State grain procurements and to revealing of contribution of separate regions into this process. The author has established that the principles of such method were elaborated and applied, for the first time, in the Ural. L.M. Kaganovich participated in working out of ideology of such method. In March of 1929, this method was approved by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U. which also recommended to apply it in eastern regions of the U.S.S.R. The Siberian Territory Committee of the C.P.S.U. supplemented the new method with effective set of necessary instruments for its realization. These supplements (first of all, fivefold additional voluntary rate-paying) were based on principle in the extent that allowed I.V. Stalin, at the April (1928) Plenum of the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U., to define the method as the Uralo-Siberian one. However, the same as in the Ural, Siberia and Kazakhstan, not being officially widespread in other regions, this method was also used on the Lower Volga Territory.
