Answer 2

Hi there,

The well to do Russian peasants were called Kulaks.

They were richer than most of the farmers owning a larger farming land in addition to a large number of cattle. These peasants had the ability to hire labour. They even lent money to poorer people. Before the war, these peasants also took part in forming the union policies.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks
