Abstract
Increasing the level of electrification of production is the best and most reliable basis for achieving a further and greater growth of labor productivity. This was already substantiated in the GOELRO plan. The copy of the volume The Plan for Electrification of the RSFSR [Plan elektrifikatsii RSFSR] used by V. I. Lenin carries the marginal notes NB, marking as especially significant these lines: Analysis shows that there are three ways to increase labor productivity: first, through intensification of work, that is, by making it more intense per unit of time; second, through mechanization, that is, by replacing human and animal brawn by mechanical power; third, through rationalization, that is, by regulating labor on rational foundations… all three basic elements of the productivity of labor — its intensity, extensive mechanization and general rationalization — are most closely connected with advances in electrification.
