The collectivization had as a consequence the establishment of new social-economic relations in the rural localities of the Moldavian SSR, as well as the institution of the collective (in fact state) property on the land and the means of production. Also, through collectivization, the economic and political control was established on the inhabitants of the villages, depriving them of land as a source of existence and instituting the dependence on kolkhoz, on the work place. The process of collectivization was carried out by repressive methods: forced requisitions, organized famine, deportations, intimidations and pressures. These processes led to essential changes in the daily life of the population, the former peasant, owner or landholder, became an agricultural worker. Collectivization meant the total involvement of the kolkhoznik in the activity of the agricultural enterprise: the involvement in the ideological and cultural activities; the practice of a series of new “traditions” and holidays with a socialist character; imitation of the Soviet way of life.
