Economic Impact: NEP -
CollectivisationBefore
Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP)Farmers allowed to own landAllowed to sell extra for profitsA new class of wealthy peasants formed – KULAKS
Some kulaks hoarded crops to increase profits**People in cities affected
![Page 10: Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 2.2: Stalin's Rule](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/587cb67b1a28ab38028b5a2d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Economic Impact: Collectivisation
Merging of small individual farms into larger collective farms aka Kolkhozy
Believed to be more efficiently farmed through use of tractors
![Page 11: Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 2.2: Stalin's Rule](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/587cb67b1a28ab38028b5a2d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Economic Impact: Collectivisation
Land owned by stateEquipment provided by stateWorking hours, wages and quantity produced fixed by stateExcess crops exported to raise funds for industrialisationFarmers punished if target not met
![Page 12: Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 2.2: Stalin's Rule](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/587cb67b1a28ab38028b5a2d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Economic Impact: Collectivisation
State provided equipments. (increased efficiency)
Fewer farm workers needed
More can go work in
factories in the city
![Page 13: Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 2.2: Stalin's Rule](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/587cb67b1a28ab38028b5a2d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Economic Impact: Collectivisation
But what happened then?Kulaks killed their own animals, hid or burnt their cropsHarvests dropped dramaticallyState continued to collect grain it needed to feed cities and export
Great Famine 1932 – 1933 (death of millions)Stalin viewed it as a GREAT SUCCESS and publicised it as such
![Page 14: Sec 3N Hist (Elec) Chapter 2.2: Stalin's Rule](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062316/587cb67b1a28ab38028b5a2d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So, was Collectivisation Beneficial
or Not?

Economic Impact: Rapid
IndustrialisationHundreds of new factories were built, workforce expandedFactorises in cities would produce equipment for the mechanisation of farmingLess farm workers required, more could go into the factories in the cityEmphasis placed on heavy industries – coal, iron, steel electricity
Working hours and wages fixed
