Soviet citizens holding aloft a flag with the text: Qi Nian Jihua 1959-1965 (Seven-Year Plan 1959-1965). This economic plan prioritised increasing chemical industry and fuel production, providing more housing and developing agriculture in the east. The sixth Five-Year Plan (1956-1960) was abandoned by Khrushchev in 1957 when it became clear that objectives for 1960 could not be reached.
