He did not modernize it, he collectivized it
Explanation:
Stalin is famous for collectivizing the Soviet economy, by forbiding private property and seizing the lands and belongings of all individual farms. Sovkhozs were collective farms whereas Kholkozs were farm cooperatives. Farmers were forced to join them otherwise they were deported and deprived of their lands and belongings anyway.
Nevertheless it is true that the introduction of industrialization in the Soviet Union made possible the mechanization of agriculture.
