How did the soviets explain their perspective and policies on the Kulak class? there's much discussion on this topic but rarely using the thoughts they so clearly put out there and even published in English! luckily I hoard Soviet ephemera! #soviethistory #sovietunion #ussr Sources: "Concerning Questions of Agrarian Policy in the U.S.S.R."

An Honest Reply to Honest Questions" by Anna Louise Strong 1936 "The Soviets Expected It" by Anna Louise Strong 1942 I won't apologize for using an Anna Louise Strong as she is not cited enough, not talked about enough, and truly a wonderful window to view the Soviet Union through, a window i wish more people looked through. I only say this because inevitably I will get some comments of people upset for using her or making wild claims despite not reading all of her work like I have.
