Abstract
Besides his favoured crops, Khrushchev also had his favoured areas. The virgin lands were always clamouring for priority and such was the prestige connected with their progress that it was difficult for Khrushchev to resist the temptation to favour their claims on the resources available. If some areas received more, others had to receive less. The areas which suffered most were the central zone and the North-West of the Russian Federation, the Baltic states and Belorussia.
