Abstract

The Bolshevik Revolution marked a pivotal shift in Turkish-Russian relations, ending longstanding conflicts and fostering political and economic cooperation. Notably, economic ties flourished, benefitting Türkiye significantly. Emulating the Soviet Union's Five-Year Plan, Russian experts devised an industrialisation plan for Türkiye, focusing on agriculture and underground resources. The plan's execution, aided by Soviet loans, machinery, and expert labour, saw the establishment of Soviet-style facilities in Anatolia from the 1930s onwards. The transfer of Soviet expertise and technology played a crucial role in Türkiye's industrialisation, showcasing the substantial impact of the Soviet five-year plans on Turkish industry post-1928.
