The Soviet regime’s dekulakization and collectivization campaigns of the 1920s and early 1930s made the period one of the most repressive and violent in the history of the USSR. Millions of peasants were forced onto collective farms; many of those who were not collectivized were disenfranchised, disposed of their property, and later arrested, imprisoned, exiled or murdered. Thousands of Mennonites in Ukraine were involved in this process - not only as victims of collectivization and dekulakization, but also as agents of the state and the repression that divided communities and families. Colin P. Neufeldt, professor of history at Concordia University of Edmonton, examines the variegated and complex roles that Mennonites played in this very tumultuous and destructive period of Soviet history.
