Detailed explanation-1: -Under collectivization the peasantry were forced to give up their individual farms and join large collective farms (kolkhozy). The process was ultimately undertaken in conjunction with the campaign to industrialize the Soviet Union rapidly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stalin enforced collectivization of farms as solution to grain shortage. Peasants were forced to work in collective farms called ‘kolkhoz’ sharing the profits equally. This was not entirely successful as the production of grain did not increase immediately.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Kolkhoz collective farming was introduced in the erstwhile Soviet Union to improve upon the inefficiency of the previous methods of agriculture and to boost agricultural production for self-sufficiency. The farmers pool in all their resources like land, livestock, and labor.
