Das Spannungsverhaltnis von allgegenwartigem Mangel bei potenziellem Uberfluss zahlt zu den zentralen Widerspruchen der sowjetischen Geschichte. Mit Blick auf den “Brotkorb Russlands” stellt sich die Frage, wie eines der fruchtbarsten Agrargebiete der Welt so heruntergewirtschaftet wurde, dass die Sowjetunion sogar Getreide importieren musste, um Hungersnote zu vermeiden. In diesem Kontext untersucht das vorliegende Buch den Aufstieg und Fall der kunstlichen Bewasserung entlang des sudrussischen Flusses Kuban von den Jahren nach der Oktoberrevolution bis zur Auflosung des Imperiums. Als Studie zur menschlichen Hybris im Zeitalter ingenieurtechnischer Utopien liefert es einen empirisch fundierten Beitrag zu einem tieferen Verstandnis des sowjetischen Agrarsystems. Daruber hinaus beleuchtet es die zentralen Idiosynkrasien sowjetischer Herrschaftskultur und hilft, die jungeren Entwicklungen eines zwar offeneren, aber noch immer stark korruptionsbehafteten Marktes in Russland besser zu begreifen.
