In 1929, Stalin’s policy of all-out collectivization had disastrous effects on agricultural productivity. He increased
the amount of grain to be exported from Ukraine. This action resulted in famine among the Ukrainian peasants
and resistance among the landowners.
Addendum to the minutes of [December 6, 1932] Politburo [meeting] No. 93.
The Council of People’s Commissars and the Central Committee resolve:
To place the following villages on the black list for overt disruption of the grain collection plan
and for malicious sabotage, organized by kulak [wealthy Ukrainian farmers] and
counterrevolutionary elements: …
The following measures should be undertaken with respect to these villages:
1. Immediate cessation [stoppage] of delivery of goods, complete suspension of cooperative
and state trade in the villages, and removal of all available goods from cooperative and state
stores.…
The Council of People’s Commissars and the Central Committee call upon all collective and
private farmers who are honest and dedicated to Soviet rule to organize all their efforts for a
merciless struggle against kulaks and their accomplices in order to: defeat in their villages the
kulak sabotage of grain collection; fulfill honestly and conscientiously their grain collection
obligations to the Soviet authorities; and strengthen collective farms.
