Stalins agricultural collectivisation
Source N Look at the Kulak farms their barns
and sheds are crammed with grain. They are
waiting for prices to rise. So long as there are
Kulaks there will be sabotage of our grain needs.
The effect will be that our towns and industrial
centres, as well as the Red Army, will be
threatened with hunger. We cannot allow that. We
must break the resistance of this class and
deprive it of its existence. Stalin speaking to
Siberian party officials after the grain crisis
of 1927

collectivisation was introduced in 1928?
