The Stalin's politic of collectivization - L'histoire en anglais

Pour réduire le retard de l’URSS sur les autres grandes puissances, Staline lance un plan quinquennal qui vise à collectiviser les terres agricoles, regroupées en kolkhozes. Un projet qui se heurte à l’opposition de nombreux paysans, qui deviendront les ennemis de l’Etat.

La politique de collectivisation de Staline (texte en anglais)

In 1930, Stalin reigns but he barely controls the country. He feels he's surrounded by enemies that he hunts down thanks to his political police. His aim is to turn Russia into a huge field populated by peasants. He has the idea of making them live as a community in the kolkhozes, he wants them to produce millions tons of wheat, sold by the country in order to buy machines which manufacture tractors, tanks and planes. Thus, the Soviet Union would catch up, in 5 years, a hundred years late. But immediately, Stalin faces the peasants who refuse to lose their lands, they refuse the collectivization.
