Collectivisation
Collectivisation
Many peasants were against collectivisation as it meant they could not live their own independent lives and have their own hoes, land and small farms, also earn their own income and keep what they earned for themselves. When peasants realised what was going on and the state was taking their belongings off them they decided to take force they would rather slaughter their own animals and burn their crops as they did not want the state to have control. On the other hand some people were pleased collectivisation was introduced because in how their lives were they would have been better of in their eyes with accommodation and food and work to how Stalin showed collectivisation out to be when really it was nothing like that and it was appalling conditions. Although to what some people lived among they would have seen this as an improvement.
A quote from a source states ‘Stock was slaughtered every night hardly dusk had fallen and u would hear the muffled, short bleats of sheep and the squeals of pigs’ This was a very extreme of showing the state they did not want to live in the collective farms and they did not want them to take anything that belonged to them.
Some people like stated above were for collectivisation like the people who worked in the industrial towns needed to collectivisation to be fed and obviously they were not living in the farms so they believed and saw what Stalin portrayed them out to be so they were not concerned as far as they people who had to live in them. In some ways collectivisation was successful for example grain production grew to nearly over 100 million tonnes, and this was sold to foreign countries as well as for feeding the population of the Soviet Union.
Although some parts of collectivisation was successful others were unspeakably not, many people died and there was a time where they country was jammed with riots and uproar, so although there were advantages and disadvantages to collectivisation for some people
