Question

what was collectivisation in the Russian Revolution?

Answer 1

 Collectivization. Collectivizationwas a policy of forced consolidation of individual peasant households into collective farms called “kolkhozes” as carried out by the Soviet government in the late 1920's - early 1930's.

Answer 2

By March 1930 more than one-half of the peasantry (a larger proportion in the agriculturally rich southwestern region of the Soviet Union) had been forced to join collective farms. But the peasants objected violently to abandoning their private farms. ... By 1936 the government had collectivized almost all the peasantry.
