The collectivization of agriculture was introduced by Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s. This policy aimed to consolidate small individual farms into large collective farms to increase agricultural productivity and support industrialization efforts. However, it led to widespread resistance, hardship, and loss of life among farmers.
Kulaks resisted collectivization by hiding or destroying their crops and livestock, sabotaging state-imposed quotas, and even engaging in armed resistance against government authorities. They viewed collectivization as a threat to their livelihoods and property rights, and sought to protect their own interests and way of life.
The Gulag class, which consisted of wealthy peasants or kulaks in Soviet Russia, opposed collectivization because it threatened their private property and independence. They were forced to give up their land and livestock to join collective farms, leading to economic losses and loss of status. Many resorted to sabotage or resistance against the forced collectivization.
Collectivization of farms is a policy where individual farms are combined into collective farms, managed by the state or a cooperative. This was often done to promote efficiency, increase agricultural production, and facilitate state control over the agricultural sector. It was a key feature of many socialist and communist agricultural systems in the 20th century.

Joseph Stalin had three economic policies. The policies are as follows: Socialism, the Five Year Plans, and the Collectivization of Agriculture.
Stalin's desire to modernise agriculture led him to collectivise the farms, amalgamating them and putting them totally under state control.
The hallmark agriculture policy synonymous with Josef Stalin was Collectivization, which has been widely recognized as a crime against humanity. Private and kulak farms tolerated under Lenin's new Economic Policy were violently nationalized. Nevertheless, collectivization, command market agricultural policies, and political factors resulted in the Ukraine's holodomor of mass famine during the 1930s.

During the collectivization program in the 1930s, the majority of people forcibly relocated to Siberia were kulaks, who were wealthier peasants that resisted collectivization, along with other groups identified as class enemies. This included not only Ukrainians and Russians but also other ethnic minorities who opposed the Soviet regime. The campaign aimed to suppress any resistance to the collectivization policies and to consolidate state control over agriculture. The brutal relocation led to significant suffering and loss of life among these communities.
