Rebuilding the workforce 25 coal industry was first proposed by Kruglov, head of the MVD, in late 1946. Under the scheme 120,000 prisoners were to go to the coal mines and 55,000 to construction in the coal and oil industries, although we do not know how many prisoners were eventually involved. They were obliged to work at their assigned enterprise for at least five years; if they absconded from their job or committed any other offence they were to be returned to a labour camp, where they would serve out the unexpired period of their sentence, plus any new sentence associated with the crime they had just committed.

Although at first glance we might intuitively assume that the laws had been introduced primarily as a weapon against the peasantry, this was not strictly so. Looking first at the law against theft of state property, only in 1947, the actual famine year, did collective farmers outnumber workers among its victims. Thereafter the number of workers represented a larger share of convictions, although after the end of rationing in 1948 and the growing importance of graft and embezzlement, clerical employees became even more prominent than workers.
