I think if you reframe the problem it can be much easier (if not trivial) to find solutions. If you present a 100 page book as a folder of 100 image files instead, most of these become image manipulation problems: >How do I make handwrit

A strawman. Farmers alone could never account for the record Soviet rates of economic growth. And neither could they if combined with convicts/POWs. In late 20s this was the deal: - Poor peasantry cannot provide wheat due to very poor
