Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Virgin Lands Campaign was an initiative by Nikita Khrushchev to open up vast tracts of unseeded (virgin) steppe in the northern Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic and the Altay region of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, started in 1954. In the first year of the programme, 190,000 km² were ploughed; in 1955, an extra 140,000 km² were ploughed. With all this new land, a vast number of people had to be brought in from all over the Soviet Union: the Komsomol was charged with recruiting them. More than 300,000 people, mostly Ukrainians and Russians, arrived in the Virgin Lands to begin new lives as farmers. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, students and combine harvester operators would join them; however, these people would stay for only a year''s harvest. By the end of the mass immigrations to the Virgin Lands, Slavs outnumbered Kazakhs in many areas. The main town was renamed Tselinograd, "Virgin Lands City" (today''s Astana).
