Sorry, it will be lengthy but worthy
1)
The Kulaks were well-to-do farmers, who had prospered under Lenin’s “New Economic Policy”. They did not want to join Farming Cooperatives that Stalin wanted to create; food shortages were always an issue in Russia; and Stalin wanted to create a more equitable system of crop growth, harvesting and distribution for the benefit of all Soviet Citizens.
The Cooperatives were well-intentioned; but failed because of extremes in Bureaucracy and incompetence (and inexperience) on the Management level. Food rotted in the fields and corruption was severe. At the start, no one knew that they would fail so badly.
.In any case, Stalin began to eliminate the Kulaks by imprisonment and execution. Kulaks, for their part, destroyed food crops in the fields rather than see them confiscated by the State. The result was mass starvation in the Ukraine in the early 1930s.
2)
A duma (дума) was a Russian assembly with advisory or legislative functions. The term comes from the Russian verb думать (dumat’) meaning "to think" or "to consider".
The first formally constituted duma was the State Duma introduced into the Russian Empire by Tsar Nicholas II in 1905 after the revolt of people against him demanding for the elected assembly. Duma seats are often a reward for special favours extended to the autocrat.
Tsar dismissed the first duma within 75 days and re-elected second duma within three months. It was dissolved in 1917 during the Russian Revolution.
3)
Women workers emerged in 1900-1930 as the population of men reduced after WW1, revolutions etc. or they were engaged in those wars and revolts.
.Woman made-up 31 per cent of the factory labour force by 1914, but they were paid less than men.
Women were also involved in strikes.
For example lockout on 22 February was largely organised by women-workers they also worked in state controlled collective farms.
4)
Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support free markets, free trade, limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.
Yellow is the political colour most commonly associated with liberalism.
They are politically and economically centrist.
5)
Under Stalin’s collectivisation programme, 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.
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 collectivisation were severely punished. Many were deported and exiled. As they resisted collectivisation, 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.
In spite of collectivisation, production didn’t increase immediately. In fact, the bad harvests of 1930–1933 led to one of the most devastating famines in Soviet history when over 4 million died.
