"Collectivization" is an agricultural economic policy that Joseph Stalin instituted in the late 1920s to stimulate grain production and stop grain hoarding. The idea was to combine, or collect, as many small individual farms that had been permitted under Lenin's New Economic Policy into larger ones called collectives.

There were two kinds of collectives, kolkhozes and sovkhozes. In a kolkhoz, the farmers rented the land from the government and worked it according to their own methods provided they met their quotas. Sovkhozes were owned by the state and the farmers were like wage employees who had no say in how the collective farm was run.

Stalin imposed it by force and violence.

Stalin became general secretary of the communist party in Russia in 1922. From there, he went on to become party leader after the previous leader, Lenin's death. He made peace with Hitler, was openly anti-semetic himself, persecuted the Gerogians, forced the nationalisation of farms (collectivisation), killed many people in concentration camps, usually associated purely with himself, though his predecessors did the same just on a smaller scale and most probably fueled the book 1984 (G. Orwell)
