Explanation:

Stalin believed in a collective way of managing the economy. This is why he destroyed all forms of private enterprise or private property in the Soviet Union.

He nationalized all the industries and collectivized all the lands and the livestock. He created sovkhozes and kolkhozes which were collective farms and agricultural cooperatives.

Farmers were deprived of both their lands and their livestock, those who dissente like the kulaks , were deporte or executed.
