Hammer and Sickle / Falce e Martello

Hammer and Sickle / Falce e Martello
An hour's drive from Rostov, vast wheat fields welcome
visitors to Zernograd, as do a couple of relics of the old
Soviet days: a hammer-and-sickle monument and a statue
of Lenin. Zernograd became a showpiece of the Soviet
collectivized farm system with help from American sympathizers
who arrived in the 1920s with U.S. tractors and combines.
Now, the town is again in the vanguard of Russian agriculture.
