Why are only 300,000 kulaks listed as killed? They died by the millions on their farms or in Siberia.
Hello. Good question. It’s explained somewhere in the site, but I can’t remember where. Here, most Kulaks are classified under “Peasants.” The only way to present these kinds of demographics meaningfully is to avoid double-counting. Somewhat meticulously, the 300,000 kulaks listed as dead, are separated and subtracted from the overall number of peasants.The shortcoming is acknowledged within the site and explained when discussing methodology. Your question is one of the primary reasons that this is a teaching tool and not a research tool. Great question though.
P.S. Some of the annotations are worth checking out. They explain the rationale behind the numbers.
