Fifty of these unfortunates who died of exhaustion or hunger were buried in a pit behind the kolkhoz, which remains unprotected and without memorial. |
Upon joining kolkhozes, peasants had to give up their private plots of land and property, and the kolkhoz produce was sold to the state for a low price set by the state itself. |
In a collective farm, at least as organized in the former Soviet republics, the land was owned by the state but was permanently leased to the kolkhoz. |
In order to supply feed to the plant several kolkhoz farms of the Baikalovo district of the Sverdlovsk Oblast have established the agro company Vostochnaya. |
These more localized famines were also not due to bad weather conditions, but rather to disproportionate levies on kolkhoz production. |
Then suddenly a town looms up out of nowhere with huge towers, the deafening roar of a helicopter, the ruins of a gulag camp and abandoned kolkhoz farm buildings. |
