Collectivisation of industry in the USSR was very successful. In the first two "Five-Year Plans" dating from 1929, production grew faster that any western country and was exceeded only by Nazi Germany and the USA. Collectivisation of agriculture was not nearly so successful and met with a great deal of resentment and opposition from the peasantry which constituted approximately 80% of the Soviet population as a class and a way of life. For the same quantity of work, peasants were doled out a relative pittance for their work and many farmers killed their livestock rather than hand them over.
