What do American and Soviet agriculture have in common?
Here, we analyze the commonalities between soil types in the United States and the Soviet Union. Little do people know that both countries actually share a lot of the same fertile land usually in the form of kastanozem. Both countries had their breadbaskets located in these soil-type regions unlike the rest of the world. Perhaps, this could explain First Secretary Nikita Khrushchev's rationale in mimicking US agricultural production by focusing on lands with a similar soil type (via the Virgin lands campaign in Kazakhstan). Up until that point, a good chunk of Soviet agriculture was located in regions that had chernozem (black earth). I also talk a bit about kastanozem and phaeozem.
