The Catastrophe of Collectivization
This chapter examines the disastrous failure of collectivization under Stalin, particularly in Ukraine, where Marxist agricultural ideals collided with traditional farming practices. It explores the severe consequences for peasant life, the brutal oppression faced, and the inefficiency stemming from state control over farming. Highlighting the moral detachment of Stalin and the catastrophic famine resulting from unattainable quotas, the chapter reveals the grim realities behind the state's agricultural ambitions.
