The kulaks were a class of farmers who started out as peasants, but became successful and wealthy, developing their own little system of capitalism. Stalin was not about to allow any sort of capitalism to take root in Russia, so he had them all killed.
Stalin solved the problem with the Kulaks by invading the country and establishing a connection with the groups' leader, and from that point he was able to have a direct say in whatever activities the Kulaks did.

Stalin responded very violently. He executed many Kulaks and soon began mass deportations that carried out through-out the years. Many of the Kulaks died from the results of being deported.
Stalin considered the Kulaks to be wealthy peasantsThey were formerly wealthy farmers that had owned 24 or more acres, or had employed farm workers. Stalin believed any future insurrection would be led by the Kulaks, thus he proclaimed a policy aimed at "liquidating the Kulaks as a class."
