Stalin

• Despite opposition from peasants, collectivisation was imposed and by 1926 most farms were collectivised. There was forced terror against the countryside and 10 million peasants were displaced
• Peasants rebelled against collectivisation which led to the "dizzy with success" speech and a temporary slow down in collectivisation
• Peasants burned crops, tool houses, carried out raids to recapture animals etc
• Women were effective protestors; they were organised and somewhat successful at stopping grain requesitioning or regaining collectivised horses
