In order to supply feed to the plant several kolkhoz farms of the Baikalovo district of the Sverdlovsk Oblast have established the agro company Vostochnaya. |
Upon joining kolkhozes, peasants had to give up their private plots of land and property, and the kolkhoz produce was sold to the state for a low price set by the state itself. |
Fifty of these unfortunates who died of exhaustion or hunger were buried in a pit behind the kolkhoz, which remains unprotected and without memorial. |
In a collective farm, at least as organized in the former Soviet republics, the land was owned by the state but was permanently leased to the kolkhoz. |
The remote village of Selish, which was once a large kolkhoz, is now populated by the elderly. |
Here, there was of them one who had been able to take the control of the kolkhoz... By agreement with the former kulaks, he threatened people who did not enter the kolkhoz with enthusiasm. |
