2. It was started by Stalin and lasted from the year 1928 to the year 1940 Its Goals: Extinguish the classes of urban society Secure food for the urban Population Produce enough to export

3. After Lenin’s death farms were confiscated Farmers were not prepared to support a Communist system Received no pay for their work As a result-> burned their crops and animals Stalin took an authoritarian approach to this problem

4. Economically Politically Socially

5. Peasants slaughtered animals creating greater food shortages than before Trade unions were converted into mechanisms for mass production Mass deportations of any opposition Reduced output

6. By 1932- 61.5% of peasants food stockings were collectivized By 1939, the sown area of Russia was 1/3 larger than that in 1913 Output of grain doubled from 1914 Low income for farmers Government could sell their produce for great income Machines were bought with all the surplus money

7. Article published by the newspaper Pravda in 1930 Talks about how all goals have been met “... some of our comrades have become dizzy with success and for the moment have lost clearness of mind and sobriety of vision” After this article the pressure of collectivization abated Reduced number of collective farms for a very short while

9. "Small-scale production gives birth to capitalism and the bourgeoisie constantly, daily, hourly, with elemental force, and in vast proportions."- Lenin

10. Stalin began to stray from Marxism Attempt at decreasing the power of Kulaks Bureau of West Siberian Regional Executive Committee Plans on how to find and what to do with kulaks Opposition within the parties

11. On Forced Collectivization of Livestock

12. The collectivization campaign in the USSR, 1930s. The slogan reads: "We kolkhoz farmers are liquidating the kulaks as a class, on the basis of complete collectivization. People buying into Stalin’s ideas

13. Stalin met opposition in an authoritative way Government responded to opposition by cutting off food supplies to areas of protest Reasons- sabotaging of collectivization

14. This was a famine/genocide Cut off food supplies to Ukraine Created internal passports so no one could enter the Soviet Union Stalin’s reasons Ukrainians were sabotaging the party This sabotage was organized by kulaks Other reasons Stalin wanted to hit Ukrainian nationalism

17. Collectivization- massively opposed by peasants Deportations to Siberia More collectivized farms Still famines and scarcity of food Ex. Famine of (1932-1933) Millions of resisters starved to death or were killed

18. Picture of USSR military man shooting peasants

19. Feigin visited farms Reported that people have a lot less livestock and food than they had before Shows the results of the opposition by the peasants and the forcible collection of products by the government

20. Kulaks were sent to Gulag camps Stalin cut of food supplies to areas that protested

21. Depiction of Gulag camps found in Kersnovskaya’s notebook - prisoner

22. Collectivization was (in the long run) successful in aiding the process of USSR’s industrialization However, the amount of human casualties and the disrespect towards basic human rights that was exhibited cannot be excused- Stalin admitted the deaths of 10 million people during the collectivization process The collectivization process is a perfect example of Stalin’s authoritarian approach to government control and how his politics strayed from his declared ideology
