Foreign expertise: Role To provide the expertise needed to build the huge projects such as the Moscow Metro. British engineers worked on it.

Foreign expertise: Pros Made up some of the shortfall of unskilled Russian labour + boosted communism during Great Depression as people thought it was the future.
Women: Roles Worked in the lowest paid jobs doing textiles and cleaning in 1929. By 1935, 42% of industrial workers were women and had jobs in education, healthcare. Employed by managers to help fulfil quotas. 1926 training programs = women access better positions.
