260 - 10 - against which the Soviet government continues to fight, are not the only reason why the collective farmers neglect their work in the collective farms and primarily devote themselves to their small farms. Another very important reason lies in the low remuneration of the peasant for the work done in the joint farms. In order to reinforce this monstrous plan, the legal provision was introduced that accession to the Kolchos should be required on the basis of a voluntary declaration, but the voluntary nature was forced by banishment or shooting. From the beginning, the Communist Party believed that the peasant upper class, which had means of production, would offer active but especially intense passive resistance to forced collectivization. Therefore, under the slogan "Liquidation of the kulaken" she decided not to let this upper class enter into the collectives, to cover all its assets, especially constructions, dead and living inventory and to remove them from the rural districts even by shooting up Ben the most active, by banishing them to northern regions or by renunciation. With the most rigorous inhumane terror measures, the forced collectivization was carried out in the winter of 1929/30, to which about 5 million peasant-efficient economies fell victim.
