This was a period in Russian history called “The Great Terror’’. I think this single event has had a profound and lasting and damaging impact on the Russian psyche.
“Kulak” meant rich peasant in Soviet Russia. They were demonized, property confiscated, arrested, tortured, executed, and ultimately driven into extinction.
In America today, kulak means insurance companies. It means entrepreneurs and executives making more than $250,000 per year. They are demonized by the party of the unionized proletariat. The property of the modern day kulak is ruthlessly confiscated (thank you Justice Roberts) and socialism takes over.
The modern day kulak will become extinct and so will our once great country.
