 Most often, the end of industrialization is understood as the last pre-war year (1940), less often the year before Stalin's death (1952).If industrialisation is understood as a process whose goal is the share of industry in the gross domestic product, characteristic of industrialized countries, then the economy of the Soviet Union reached such a state only in the 1960s.One should also take into account the social aspect of industrialisation, since it was only in the early 1960s urban population exceeded rural.
