Share
By 1927-28 the towns in Soviet Russia were facing an acute problem of grain supplies. Stalin, who was the leader of the party at that time, investigated the causes of this problem and introduced some emergency measures accordingly. Stalin’s collectivization programme in 1929 was one of these measures. Under this programme the party forced all farmers to cultivate in collective farms (Kolkhoz). The profit or the produce from a collective farm was shared by the farmers worked on it. However, those farmers who resisted collectivization were severely punished. They did not 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 Stalin’s collectivization programme, production did not increase immediately. In fact the bad harvests of 1930-33 led to one of the worst famines in the Soviet History.

Stalin’s collectivization was a Soviet policy in the late 1920s forcing peasants to merge their small farms into collective farms owned by the state. It aimed to modernize agriculture and boost productivity but resulted in resistance, food shortages, and a devastating famine. The program caused widespread suffering and loss of lives among peasants due to its coercive nature and disruption of traditional farming practices.
