Russia
The Second Stage 1932 - 1934
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Give two causes of famine 1932-34 in Ukraine & other areas. | 1. A fall of grain production due to the removal of the Kulaks - experienced farmers and replaced by activists = less skill. 2. A drought in 1931 |
| How many people died during the famine? | Millions. Don't know exact statistic because the Soviet Regime wasn't admitting that Collectivization wasn't delivering enough food to the peasants. Some say it was used as a weapon to break peasant resistance & Kulaks. |
| What were thousands of officials and detachments of the OGPU sent out to do? | Sent to requisition grain in Ukraine a particular enemy to collectivization. Did this brutally and collected all grain that the peasants hid. Conquest claims made that peasants dumped grain in railway sidings to deliberately cause starvation. |
| What law did the government bring in to make sure grain was handed over? | On the 7th August 1932 the Seventh-Eighths was passed. It set a punishment of initially 10 years imprisonment to anyone that stole 'socialized property' |
| What did the government bring in to stop peasants from fleeing famine hit areas? | Internal passports. These controlled the movement of people trying to move between each district. |
