collectivization
- Collectivization was Stalin's answer to poor agriculture situations in Russia thinking they needed to be their own primary resource for food, forcing all peasants and lower class to work on these collective farms
- These farms were called Kolkhoz, where all the land was combined together
- The output of these farms was monitored by party officials and by 1932, 62% of peasants collectivized
- The Kulaks were of the wealthier tier that owned their own farms, and were the few that didn't burn their crops
- Because they didn't abide by Stalin's ruling, they were sent to the Gulags in Siberia
- In the big picture collectivization has little success and didn't spread as Stalin hoped it would
