Collectivization
Collectivization- all peasants were to work on collective farms (started 1927)
- called Kolkhoz, all land was pooled together
- Party officials monitored their output
- by 1932 62% of all peasants collectivized
- Kulacks = wealthier peasants who owned their own farms
- The Kulacks were under the most danger during collectivization because their crops were the ones being taken. In order to rebel against their crops being taken they would burn their crops, refused to give up, immigrated to a different country
- the Kulacks were killed or sent to Gulags in Siberia
- Seen as a threat to collectivization due to their free enterprise ideals
