📅 15 January 1928 📍

Stalin traveled to Siberia and directed local officials to use emergency measures to obtain grain, including arrests and pressure on wealthier peasants. The campaign marked a sharp retreat from NEP’s negotiated exchange with rural producers. Grain procurement was treated as a state security issue, intensifying the conflict between the party and peasantry.
