Question

describe stalin's collectivisation programme​

Answer 1

Under Stalin’s collectivization program, the Bolshevik Party forced all peasants to cultivate in collective farms(kolkhoz). The bulk of lands and implements were transferred to the ownership of collective farms. Peasants worked on the land and kolkhoz profit was shared.

Engaged peasants resisted the authorities and resisted the authorities and destroyed their livestock. Between 1929–1931, the number of cattle fell by one-third. Those who resisted collectivization were severely punished. Many were deported* and exiled**. As they resisted collectivization, peasants argued that they were not rich and they were not against socialism. They merely didn’t want to work in collective farms for a variety of reasons. Stalin’s government allowed some independent cultivation, but treated such cultivators unsympathetically.
