[edit] Continuation of Tsarist-era idea?
Am I correct in thinking that the idea that Kazakhstan could be made into farmland was one fancied by the pre-soviet government, and wasn't the tsarist times construction of railroads and irrigation there a first step in that project? If so, do we have sn article on tsarist russia's attempts to "civilise" central asia, to which we could link from here? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 21:19, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Good article
With cited sources it would be even better. See also Wikipedia:Footnotes. - FrancisTyers 05:01, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't agree with this article at all. The Virgin Lands Campaign was a failure, lead to Khrushchev's demise! The soil was infertile!! What are you talking about??
