Answer 2

Answer:

Circumstances that led to the collectivization  programme in USSR was:

• By 1927-1928, there was a severe problem with grain  supplies in towns of Soviet Russia. The government  fixed the selling prices of grain, but the peasants  refused to sell their grain to government buyers  at these prices. Stalin believed that rich peasants  and traders in the rural areas were holding stocks  in the hope of higher prices.
• In 1928, the grain-producing areas were toured by  the Party members. They supervised compulsory  grain collections and raided the wealthy peasants  known as ‘kulaks’. But the problem of shortages was  not solved.
• Now, the decision was taken to collectivize farms.  It was argued that grain shortages were partly  due to the small size of holdings. These small-sized peasant farms could not be modernized. it  was decided to establish state-controlled large  farms.
• It was only possible by abolishing kulaks and take  away land from peasants. These state-controlled  farms were to run along industrial lines with  machinery. Thus began Stalin’s collectivization  program kolkhoz.
