trudoden
Trudoden (, portmanteau literally meaning labourday) was a unit of value and type of accounting of quantity and quality of labor (as a factor of production) in collective farms (kolkhozes) of the Soviet Union in 1930 – 1966. It literally means a day of labor. It was the only form of wage payments in collective farms, as the in-kind compensation for labor equaled the amount of trudodens per given time period. Beside working for free, a Soviet peasant of collective farm was not permitted to leave his or her village without permission from a head of the local collective farm.
