Who did this genocide affect?

Stalin and the Ukraine's aimed his hostility at the wealthier peasants known as kulaks. Up to five million people in millions of kulak households were captured and never heard from again. The famine occurred because of the kulaks resistance to be held. About 97% kulaks were forced out of their homes. Stalin's goal of the industrialization changing was almost achieved because of the uncountable amount of peasants collected. According to a Soviet author, "Before they died, people often lost their senses and ceased to be human beings." Lieutenants in Ukraine stated that the famine was a great success and it showed the kulaks "who the master is."
