Forced Collectivization and Dekulakization (1928–1932)
An assault on the traditional way of life of the Ukrainian village, which remained the principal bearer of national identity and economic independence. Under the slogans of socialist modernization, Moscow carried out the forcible seizure of land, livestock, and equipment. Peasants who put up resistance (the so-called "kurkuls") were dispossessed en masse and deported to Siberia and the North[1][2].
