Economic Impact of Stalin's Rule

Reasons for Collectivisation

To modernise farming and make it efficient

USSR was a backward country in 1928. Stalin wanted to merge small individual farms into larger collective farms (kolkhozes).

He thought that larger units of land could be farmed more efficiently

It was a total reversal of Lenin's NEP, where farmers were originally allowed to possess their own land. Under Stalin's plans, land and crops were owned by the state.
