Stalin's "collectivization" scheme implicated both; solutions to population movement and, an answer to food distribution problems. The scheme involved at first the encouragement of small private farmers to incorporate their lesser plots into larger collectives which would be publicly monitored in order to regulate food going into urban areas and food being exported. To encourage rural movement into urban areas higher taxes were placed on food produced outside collectives in the hope that peasants who didn't join collectives would move into urban industrial employment. To begin with, many farmers decided against collectivisation but progressively the peasant's "voluntary" collectivization became brutally forceful as Stalin saw a great need for a dictator-like leadership to bring his country to industrial prowess. As collectivization was forced upon farmers throughout rural areas a problem became obvious; with a high percentage of grain going to the workers (in towns) along with a large sum going over seas in exchange for industrial equipment, peasants in collectives simply weren't receiving enough food. Widespread famine ensued. Stalin was forfeiting the needs of the peasants and any humanitarian advance to focus on industrial advance.
To help his push for total collectivisation Stalin staged a massive propaganda offensive where he stereotyped the richer peasants as "Kulaks" by publicly identifying them as holding back the industrial revolution. As a result Kulak victimisation pulled apart the countryside. These richer peasants were either arrested by authorities and sent to slave labour camps in Siberia or were simply killed by angry mobs of peasants seeking government encouraged revenge upon their former land owners. Once again Stalin was sacrificing an advance in living standards and general civil liberties for a straight forward push towards industrial progress. .
Looking at actual figures the percentage of farms collectivised came to 98% in 1941 and in 1939 the output of grain, milk and meat as much higher than in 1913.
