COLLECTIVISM CONTINUED 1 Flashcards
how collectivism works:
land farmed as one unit-all land brought tog
individual ownership replaced by collective(kolkhozy)
collectives had to fulfil quotas of produce for state to sell-private trade banned
peasants paid in work days>incentive
machine and tractor stations + monitors
peasants allowed private plots but only to feed family
impact of collectivisation
massive impact in first few months
enterprising peasants(kulaks) in process of being eliminated> getting rid of knowledge on ag
25-30% animals slaughter in part of defiance(8m hordes 67% sheep 1929-33)= effect clothing/live stock level
1930 50% all households collectivised
due to distraction, peasants resistance common 1930
including riots/armed resistance(13700 disturbances)
burned crops/tools/houses/slaughterd animals
womneplayed sig role in resistance,outspoken
soviet sponsor troops brought control to situation
responding to resistance> stalin halted collectivisation 1930
fearing further resistance from peasants>retreat
voluntary collectivisation+peasants leave collectivisation while they could
however second drive collectivisation 1931-forced
end 1931-50% peasants collectivised. 1936-90% 240k farms
second drive collectivisation: survalliance : 1931 machine and tractor station (MTS)
mts hired out machinery, peasants and to hand out 20% produce for this, so less age workers needed> moved to factories
second drive collectivisation: survalliance : secret police department OGPU
rooted out anti soviet trouble making, ensured collectives delivered quota of grain
process of dekulakisation after 1929 central to collectivisation policy (capitalist ideology)
end 10m deaths or sent to labor , some most productive farmers lost
holodomor Ukrainian famine 1932-3
4 deaths, starvation >food requisition inc, stalin set up impossible quotas
the laws of 5 ears of grain /corn 1932
law against theft of cooperative and collective farm property and cargo in transport> including crops?machinary?livestock=punishment 10y or execution
concequnces: strengths
did allow state to procure and export more grain 1913 120k tonnes, 1936 96m tonnes
1928-41 urvan workfroce trebbeld 12-36m
kualks came to be used as free labour in gulag
concequnces: weakness
collectivisation failed to massively inc grain harvest on regula basis.
due to 1929 depression, soviet gov couldn’t as for higher price>left lower class in dire cause
mass human loss > julaks wiped out
took mroe lives than ww1 did by all countrys on the front
