Question

What were the reasons that made the conditions of the Russian peasants so deplorable?

Answer 1

Stalin forced the peasants of Russia to cultivate in collective farms known as Kalkhoz. The bulk of land and implements were transferred to the ownership of collective farms. Peasants worked on the land, and the Kalkhoz profit was shared. Some peasants tried to resist but they could not get success. As a result, their condition became deplorable.
