What is dekulakization

"Dekulakization" is a term denotingpolitical repression, applied to the local executive authorities on political and social grounds. The basis for these actions was the decision of the Politburo.

Preparatory process

In 1928 in the newspaper "Pravda" were publishedinformation that made public the problems of the village and the availability of well-to-do peasants, exploitation of the poor. Also, cases of preventing the poor and workers in the party became known. The wealthy peasants themselves discovered large reserves of grain. Attempts to take away stocks failed, because the kulaks deprived of motivation simply stopped expanding crops, and farm laborers were left without work. The process of dekulakization had to stop the arbitrariness on the ground and call into question the existence of the kulaks as a class.

Collectivization

In the years 1928-1930, massrepression, which amounted to depriving the well-to-do peasants of the land, the means of production, mercenaries and their eviction to remote parts of the country. The activists of the counterrevolutionaries were arrested and detained in concentration camps. Later, a decree was issued prohibiting the use of wage labor on the ground and renting land. More than 70,000 families were sent to the North, 50,000 to Siberia, and 25,000 to the Urals. In the areas where collectivization was conducted, the peasants were confiscated from livestock, household and farm buildings, fodder and food supplies, household property and cash . To arrange a new place on the family issued up to 500 rubles. Almost every peasant could fall under the dekulakization. Also under the repression fell and middle peasants and very poor peasants to accelerate the pace of collectivization and reporting. Such a tough policy led to a large number of victims. Approximately 90,000 dekulakized peasants perished on the way to exile or died of hunger already on the spot. In 1932, this process was suspended. However, dekulakization was not stopped immediately. Evictions were now made on an individual basis, and the number of convicts was limited. In 1934, a resolution was adopted to restore the rights of former kulaks. The final dekulakization was completed after the decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, after the entry into force of which the settlers were released.
