Doska sorevnovanii︠a︡ na likvidat︠s︡ii︠u︡ proryva / S. Marshak ; risunki V. Lebedeva.
1931
Soviet factory workers work hard to fulfill the first Five-Year Plan. The blacksmiths and foundry-workers are rewarded for their labor with fast planes and cars. They are contrasted with idlers who drink and waste time. The title of the poem refers to the "gap" between the Soviet Union and Western industrialized countries such as the United States. The first Five-Year Plan was intended to increase Soviet productivity so it would not lag behind other countries.
