- Peasants had seized landed estates from landlords during the revolution
- Communists believed this land should be controlled by the State

- 1) feed the proletariat workforce in cities
- 2) export to produce revenue to industrialise the USSR
- Peasants had purposely grown less to reduce the grain surplus
- This increased the value of grain on free markets
- Grain was needed to...
- To succeed in the power struggle against the right-wing
- The policy of Collectivisation was used by Stalin to oppose the Bukharinite "gradualist" policy
