1. Kolkhoz

   A kolkhoz (Russian: колхо́з, IPA: [kɐlˈxos] (listen)) was a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union. Kolkhozes existed along with state farms or sovkhoz. These were the two components of the socialized farm sector that began to emerge in Soviet agriculture after the October Revolution of 1917, as an antithesis both to the feudal structure of impoverished serfdom and aristocratic landlords and to individual or family farming. The 1920s were characterized by spontaneous emergence of collective farms, under influence of traveling propaganda workers. Initially, a collective farm resembled an updated version of the traditional Russian "commune", the generic "farming association" (zemledel’cheskaya artel’), the Association for Joint Cultivation of Land (TOZ), and finally the kolkhoz. This gradual shift to collective farming in the first 15 years after the October Revolution was turned into a "violent stampede" during the forced collectivization campaign that began in 1928 as a means of countering "counterrevolutionary elements".

1. kolkhoz

   A Kolkhoz is a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union. It is a system of agricultural production in which a number of farmers run their holdings jointly as a type of cooperative, sharing in the profits and losses. The term is a contraction of "kollektivnoe khozyaystvo", which translates as "collective farm." The Kolkhoz was distinguished from another type of Soviet collective farm, the sovkhoz, which was state-owned. The Kolkhoz system was introduced during the Soviet period as part of a campaign to collectivize agriculture.
