My Grandfather’s family in Kiev were considered Kulaks during the Bolshevik Revolution.
Somehow his parent’s got their 2 son’s out by getting them enlisted in the U.S. army during WWI. My Great-Grandparents later were starved to death during the Holodomor.
They were middle class.
Ruling elites have hated the middle class for centuries.
“.....Ruling elites have hated the middle class for centuries”
History repeats itself. Especially when the past has been flushed down the memory hole.
