KOLKHOZ Meaning and
Definition
-
A kolkhoz refers to a type of collective farm that was established during the Soviet era in the former Soviet Union, particularly Russia. The term "kolkhoz" is derived from the Russian words "kollektivnoe khozyaystvo," which translates to "collective farm." It was a fundamental element of the Soviet agricultural system, which aimed at consolidating land and resources under collective ownership and management.
A kolkhoz can be understood as a cooperative agricultural organization where individual farmers voluntarily pooled their lands, labor, machinery, and other resources. The central objective of a kolkhoz was to increase agricultural production and ensure self-sufficiency in food production for the Soviet Union. The farmers that joined a kolkhoz retained their private plots of land for personal use but were also obligated to contribute a portion of their harvest to the collective.
Kolkhozy were characterized by a centralized administration, typically led by a chairman and a committee elected by the members. The collective made decisions collectively, such as crop choices, allocation of resources, and distribution of profits. Work on the farms was often organized on a rotational basis, where members would contribute a set number of hours per month or year.
Although the kolkhoz system had its share of successes, it also faced numerous challenges such as inefficiencies, overcentralization, and limited incentives for individual farmers. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to significant changes in the agricultural sector, and many kolkhozy were dismantled or transformed into private farming enterprises. Today, the concept of a kolkhoz remains as a significant historical aspect of Soviet agriculture.

Etymology of KOLKHOZ
The word "kolkhoz" is derived from the Russian word "колхоз" (kolhoz), which is an abbreviation for "коллективное хозяйство" (kollektivnoe khozyaystvo).
"Kollektivnoe" means "collective" or "collectively", and "khozyaystvo" means "economy" or "farm". Therefore, "kolkhoz" can be translated as "collective farm" or "collective economy".
The term was introduced in the Soviet Union during the agricultural reforms in the 1920s and 1930s. It referred to a system of communal agriculture where individual farmers pooled their land, tools, and livestock to work collectively.
