We must break down the resistance of this class in an open battle and deprive it of the productive sources of its existence and development...

Cevap
The state-engineered famine in Ukraine, known as the Holodomor, which resulted in the deaths of millions of peasants.
The correct answer is correct because the forced collectivization of agriculture and the policy of 'eliminating the kulaks as a class' under Joseph Stalin led directly to the Holodomor. In the early 1930s, the Soviet government set unrealistic grain requisition quotas and confiscated food from Ukrainian peasants who resisted collectivization, resulting in a state-engineered famine that killed millions.
