Shturmovshchina is a term that refers to a practice used in the Soviet Union during World War II, particularly in the context of industrial production and military operations. The word is derived from "shturm," which means "assault" or "storm." In industrial contexts, shturmovshchina involved intense, high-pressure work periods where workers would be expected to significantly increase production output for short bursts, often in response to urgent needs or wartime demands.
