Question

How did joseph stalin's collectivization policies affect the ukrainian people ?

Answer 1

Stalin focused particular hostility on the wealthier peasants, or kulaks. About one million kulak households (some five million people) were deported and never heard from again. Forced collectivization of the remaining peasants, which was often fiercely resisted, resulted in a disastrous disruption of agricultural productivity and a catastrophic famine in 1932–33. Although the First Five-Year Plan called for the collectivization of only twenty percent of peasant households, by 1940 approximately ninety-seven percent of all peasant households had been collectivized and private ownership of property almost entirely eliminated.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is : An intense campaign was carried out at the state level for the collectivization that consisted of changing the individual agriculture for a collective agricultural production, at the beginning it did not extend much because equipment and resources were needed, then the government provided a strong support. At the beginning the collectivization was voluntary and afterwards it was an administrative measure, so the inscriptions increased too much. Then a decree was issued on the collectivization of the cattle in a term of 3 months, for this reason many farmers sacrificed their cattle, later they diminished this term even more. Many families were affected due to the request for land, houses and property. Several peasants were arrested and deported to the north and there they were exploited performing various trades. This speed in the process caused many protests by the peasants as a consequence of this, the government reversed the collectivization
