What is kulack?

s:

Kulaks were wealthy peasants in pre-revolutionary Russia who owned larger farms and employed laborers.

The Soviet government aimed to eliminate kulaks in the 1920s and collectivize agriculture.

Many kulaks resisted collectivization, leading to violent clashes with authorities and widespread repression.

The policy led to a drastic decline in agricultural productivity, and millions of people died as a result of famine and forced labor.

The kulak issue became a symbol of the conflict between the Soviet government and the peasantry, and has had long-lasting effects on Russian society and politics.
