You are completely misinformed.

First of all "kulaks" were not working peasants who lived self-sufficiently off farming their land and raising their livestock, you are thinking of "serednyaks", the class below kulaks in the 4-tier rural class system of Imperial Russia. Kulaks were rural loan sharks and land owners who did not work but rather lived off extortionate interest rates from loans to "serednyaks" and from exploiting the labour of "bednyaks" (literally "the poor") and, mainly, the seasonal labour of "batraks" who were the class below "the poor" - many of them homeless, traveling from village to village and working quite literally for a bit of food and a place to sleep in the barn.

If you intend to keep talking publically about kulaks, do look into those classes, look up who batraks were and what kind of life they lead before the revolution, the mortality, the diseases, how many they were compared to the number of kulaks. Find out what dekulakisation brought not only for kulaks, but also for that huge number of serednyaks, bednyaks, and batraks they exploited. Find out what dekulakisation did to overall child mortality, child hight, life expectancy, and so on.

Second, kulaks were not murdered, they were eliminated as an economic class by removing the relataionship of exploitation. Their lands were taken and given to the people, and the ones who resisted were deported with their families.

yeah go ask a neonazi mi6 asset lol

Mayo was a staple of Soviet cuisine, you could hardly find a salad without it, it was also a common ingredient in pies and even in sweet cakes.

Which you would've known had you been real KGB, western spy!

Ah yes, Thuringia where Social-Democratic party Die Linke was under illegal surveillance for being "extremist"

Now neonazis are coming to power, who woulda thunk

It's like asking if doner kebab is some kind of shawarma, you'll get a lot of people upset but nobody will explain the actual difference

Whenever someone mentions kulaks I ask what they think about batraks and if they don't know the word I disregard their opinion, simple as that

Ok that's bs, prison conditions in general and work camp conditions in particular were what you would expect in a backwards agrarian country desperately fighting off waves of external aggression while trying to industrialise - horrific.

this ain't it chief
