When [[Joseph Stalin]] rose to power, kulaks resisted some of his measures. Stalin responded with a brutality of horrific proportions. Stalin either executed or shipped to labor camps nearly 2 million kulaks in the 1930s and there was mass starvation in the Ukraine of perhaps 20 million people. The term kulak was used interchangeably with as "enemy of the people."
