Peasantry attitude to Stalin's collectivization in the early 1930 on the modern Krasnoyarsk region territory

The relevance of the topic of building collective farms in the USSR is due to the interest in it both from the scientific community (over 100 publications on the topic of collectivization and dispossession, posted in Elibrary in 2021), and from the Russian society (which is confirmed by thousands of views on Youtube videos of various bloggers on this topic). In late 1929 - early 1930, the leadership of the USSR began forced collectivization, which fundamentally changed life in the Soviet countryside. The policy of "liquidating the kulaks as a class" gave great powers to local authorities. Dispossession became the main method of stimulating collective farm construction. Special attention deserves consideration of the conduct of dispossession and collectivization in Siberia, its individual districts and regions, where there was a rather numerous layer of large entrepreneurial peasant farms. The paper for the first time examines in detail the attitudes towards Stalin’s collectivization on the part of the poor, middle peasants and kulaks who lived in the areas of the modern Krasnoyarsk Region in January - March 1930, that is, during the first dispossession campaign (confiscation of property, eviction of peasants, etc.) and the formation of collective farms. In conclusion, the finding is drawn about the negative attitude of the bulk of all sections of the village towards the policy of forced collectivization and the "liquidation of the kulaks as a class" pursued by the Soviet leadership, due to "excesses on the ground", as well as the conclusion that the need to organize the economy on collective farms became the reason for the outbreak mass exodus of peasants from them.
