That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. It almost looks like Romania is an example of what happens when the process of collectivization occurs naturally and not forced through authoritarianism. That's actually nice to see.

Until, like you said, USSR tried to "help".

    It would be wrong to hold up Romania as too much of a shining example though, even here. When the USSR expressed disappointment and offered their help, Romanian communists were very willing to show their independence from Moscow by refusing and breaking heads on their own to speed up the process.
