Collectivization
Collectivization- all peasants were to work on collective farms
called kolkhoz, all land was pooled together
Party officials monitored their output
by 1932 62% of all peasants collectivized
kulaks wealthier peasants who owned their own farms (emigrate)
they were killed or sent to Gulags in Siberia
Seen as a threat to collectivization due to their free enterprise ideals.

Quote: Agriculture is developing slowly, comrades. This is because we have about 25 million individually owned farms. They are the most primitive and undeveloped form of economy We must do our utmost to develop large farms and to convert them into grain factories for the country organised on a modem scientific basis."Stalin said this
collectivization involved all the peasants to work there bums off in collective farms and just contribute to society. The party officials would monitor what was going on when they were working on the collective farms. Certain peasants were fortunate enough to emigrate and get away from the collective farms. he Soviet leadership was confident that the replacement of individual peasant farms by collective ones would immediately increase the food supply for urban population, the supply of raw materials for processing industry, and agricultural exports. Collectivization was thus regarded as the solution to the crisis of agricultural distribution (mainly in grain deliveries) that had developed since 1927
