"The kulaks were coerced into giving up their land to make way for these collective farms or risk being killed, deported, or sent to labor camps."

@KawaTora
my point is that it's slavery, no matter if it is done by some southerner or a construct like a state or "collective" ;)

I worked for a Ukrainian farmer who escaped from the Soviet Union while Stalin was in power. He was in his mid 60s and I was about 16 when I worked on the farm he owned in the USA. He hiked out of Ukraine alone at 14 years old and later got his mother and two siblings out. They were living with him when I was doing farm tasks for cash.
