Answer:

O Peasants were not allowed to keep food until they met government quotas.

Step-by-step explanation:

By 1936, the government had collected nearly all of the peasants. However, millions of individuals who had provided opposition had been deported to jail camps and removed from agricultural productive activities. This resulted in a devastating famine in the countryside (1932–33), k!illing millions of peasants. The peasants was deeply scarred by collectivization. The forceful expropriation of meat and bread resulted in peasant mutinies. They would even rather butcher their animals than give them to the community farms. To put down uprisings, the Soviet leadership had to call in the army on occasion. Russia briefly led a confederation of independent states and maintained some control of the region. Gorbachev's decision to allow multi-party elections and establish a president for the Soviet Union began a lengthy process of democratization that finally destabilized Communist authority and led to the Soviet Union's demise. Stalin and the CPSU accused the affluent peasants, dubbed "kulaks" (Russian for "fist"), for organizing anti-collectivization resistance. Many kulaks allegedly hoarded grain in order to speculate on higher prices, hindering grain collection. People labeled as kulaks were subjected to expulsion and extrajudicial penalties during the height of collectivization in the early 1930s. They were regularly assassinated in local campaigns of violence, while others were legally killed after being found guilty of being kulaks.Stalin creates modern farms by instituting new reforms, including the Kolkhoz.... The collectivization of agriculture (Kolkhoz) forbids private farming and replaces it with state-owned agriculture.
