 In the Stalinist historiography, the 14th congress was called the "industrialisation congress", but it made only a general decision about the need to transform the Soviet Union from an agrarian country into an industrial one, without determining the specific forms and rates of industrialisation.The choice of a specific implementation of central planning was vigorously discussed in 1926–1928.Proponents of the genetic approach (Vladimir Bazarov, Vladimir Groman, Nikolai Kondratiev) believed that the plan should be based on objective regularities of economic development, identified as a result of an analysis of existing trends.
