Kulaks were particularly persecuted by Stalin as responsibles for undermining, with their protests and opposition, the agricultural plans for the agricolture of the central Soviet government.
The kulaks were perfect targets for the regime also because they owned small plots of land and were employing other poorer paesant under them (making them similar to the old tzarist's greedy and cruel landowners).
Kulaks were purged and murdered in great number (in Ukraine, for example) by deportation and starvation.

The Russian Kulaks were a class of peasant farmers who owned their own land. The term "Kulak" was originally intended to be derogatory. Soviet propaganda painted these farmers as greedy and standing in the way of the "utopian" collectivisation that would take away their land, livestock, and produce. "Kulak" means "fist" in Russian and may have had something to do with the supposed tight-fisted ness of the Kulak class.


The unfortunate demonization and destruction of the Kulaks would be among the many factors that would ultimately weaken the Soviet Union - leaving it susceptible first to the massive invasion by Germany during the "Great Patriotic War", and to final economic defeat in the Cold War. The Kulaks could have made valuable contributions to the Russian nation. However, this vital human resource was tossed aside by the ideologically blind communists, and the need to maintain power of the dictator, Stalin.
