Question

write short notes on
a) Kulaks
b) Kolkhoz
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Kulaks were the rich peasants of Russia. The Bolsheivks raided the homes of the kulaks and seized their goods. It was because they believed that kulaks were exploiting poor peasants and hoarding the grains to earn higher profits.

The programme entailed collective farms (kolkhoz) where peasants were made to work together. All land and implements were to be owned by the state. Kolkhoz profit was meant to be shared by all the people working on these farms.
