Kulak dehumanization refers to the portrayal and treatment of kulaks—wealthier peasants in early 20th-century Russia—as subhuman or morally corrupt individuals. This dehumanization was part of the Soviet regime's Propaganda, especially during the collectivization efforts under Stalin, which aimed to justify the violent repression, dispossession, and execution of these individuals. By depicting kulaks as exploiters and enemies of the state, the regime sought to rally public support for their eradication, framing their removal as a necessary step for the advancement of socialism. This rhetoric contributed to widespread violence and suffering during that period.
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.
They were called the "kulaks"
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."
That is the correct US spelling of "dehumanization" (a deliberate degrading of people).The UK spelling is dehumanisation.
