Detailed explanation-1: -The 1930s saw many horrors in the Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin’s purges resulted in the execution of thousands, while millions more were sent to forced labor camps. The decade began with the forced collectivization of farms throughout the Soviet Union, a process that resulted in the deaths of millions by starvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Holodomor’s Death Toll And, unlike other famines in history caused by blight or drought, this was caused when a dictator wanted both to replace Ukraine’s small farms with state-run collectives and punish independence-minded Ukrainians who posed a threat to his totalitarian authority.
Detailed explanation-3: -This caused a major famine in the countryside (1932–33) and the deaths of millions of peasants. Despite these great costs, the forced collectivization achieved the final establishment of Soviet power in the countryside.
Detailed explanation-4: -Forced collectivization of the remaining peasants was often fiercely resisted resulting in a disastrous disruption of agricultural productivity. Forced collectivization helped achieve Stalin’s goal of rapid industrialization but it also contributed to a catastrophic famine in 1932–1933.
Detailed explanation-5: -The collectivization process was rolled back: by 1 May 1933 38.2% of Ukrainian peasant households and 41.1% of arable land had been collectivized. By the end of August, these numbers declined to 29.2% and 35.6% respectively.
