The Russian Kulaks were mostly peasant class farm owners. They faced a regime under Lenin & Stalin that at first were radical Bolshevik communists. They saw the Kulaks as a problem because they supported the overthrow of the Bolshevik regime. Later, they refused to sell their crops at the price set by Lenin and his regime. The Kulaks were against abolishing private property.
To avert an economic crisis, Lenin began the NEP, or New Economic Policy. For a short time this gave some ground to the Kulaks, but not for long. The NEP was abolished and the collectivization of the Soviet farm system began. Kulaks that resisted were killed. Later with Stalin in sole power of the USSR, he created a program to wipe out the peasant farmer class completely. He hated the Kulaks so much many millions of them were executed.

What was stalin's response to kulaks defiance?
kulak in Russian language means fist. So called them Russian people. Kulak means that their property, their money, he holds in his hand, not wanting to share with anyone, lives by oneself. Russky people centuries used to live in the community together to own agricultural land. Even when the Russian peasants were in a personal dependence on the nobles, they considered that the land belongs to them. Ultimately, the reluctance of the nobility to give arable land led to the revolution which resulted in the nobility had been destroyed as a social class. After the revolution, the land was given to the peasants. Some have successfully done business, some not. Those who become successful called kulak. They were the main producers of agricultural products. The main buyer was the state. When Stalin began the industrialization of the country, all the resources went into the construction industry, so the purchase prices have been set very low. In response kulak stopped selling grain to the state. This was in 1927 and 1928. Stalin understood that the kulak took him by the throat, they fail the plans of industrialization. In addition, Stalin knew that most people hate kulak. Then Stalin began to merge the peasants into collective farms, and the kulak evicted, after taking away their property. Many of the kulak were in labor camps, but mainly kulak fled to the cities and became workers. This policy supported the Russian people. This is consistent with the mentality of Russian peasants - Teamwork and moderation in the consumption of material goods. Stalin solved two problems - put under the control of agriculture and created tens of thousands of workers to the industry.

Why did Joseph Stalin commit genocide?
Joseph Stalin murdered his rivals because he feared that they were plotting against him for power in the USSR. In certain circumstances, his rivals had different ideas on Marxism and he could not handle dissent. This was even for people who had no ill feelings towards him. They believed that Lenin and Marx had opinions that seemed opposed to Stalin's. Aside from Stalin's ultra-fear complex, many murders were done to scare potential rivals into being quiet or to leave the Soviet Union. Stalin used murder to punish failure. When Hitler had taken control of Europe, and before he attacked the USSR, European Communists sought refuge in Moscow. Stalin in particular, saw German communists as failures, having failed to win elections in Germany against the Nazi's. These communists had to pay the penalty of death for their failures. He also used starvation as a method of murder. The Kulak peasants who opposed losing their lands had their livestock and grain taken from them, and they died of starvation. These "rivals" were people he did not even know, however, he saw them as a threat to the collective farm system he wanted to create.
