What does KULAK mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A relatively wealthy peasant farmer in Russia or the Soviet Union who owned land and often employed hired labor.
The term kulak described farmers who had accumulated more land, livestock or equipment than their neighbors under the Russian imperial system, making them noticeably better off within their village. After the 1917 revolution, and especially during Stalin's collectivization drive of the early 1930s, the Soviet government targeted people labeled kulak for arrest, deportation or execution, treating the word as a political accusation rather than a simple description of wealth. Because of that history, kulak appears today chiefly in historical writing about Russian agriculture and Soviet repression. Historians still debate how consistently the label was applied, since many families targeted as kulaks were only modestly better off than their neighbors.
