Question

Write a few lines to show what you know about:

kulaks

Answer 1

Kulaks: It is the Russian term for wealthy peasants who Stalin believed were hoarding grains to gain more profit. They were raided in 1928 and their supplies were confiscated. According to Marxism-Leninism, kulaks were a 'class enemy' of the poorer peasants. Their desire for profit led to food shortages and ultimately, Stalin had to put the collectivisation program in place to eliminate the kulaks and establish large, state-controlled farms.
