Podkulachnik
In Soviet phraseology, a podkulachnik, feminine: podkulachnitsa, was a person who allegedly sided with kulaks in their opposition to the collectivization in the Soviet Union.
History
Podkulachnik is considered by many to be a Stalinist neologism from the late 1920s, however the term was already in use before World War I. After the Russian Revolution, the kulaks - relatively affluent and well-endowed peasants - were persecuted by the Soviet Government as class enemies.Even poor peasants could have been labeled, i.e., the term was not of economic differentiation, but of a political one. Solzhenitsyn wrote that the term was applied arbitrarily:
In every village, there were people who in one way or another had gotten in the way of local activists. was the perfect time to settle accounts with them of jealousy, envy, insult. A new word was needed for these new victims as a class- and it was born. By this time it had no 'social' or 'economic' context whatsoever, but it had a marvelous sound: Podkulachnik - 'a person aiding the kulaks.' In other words, I consider you an accomplice of the enemy. And that finishes you. The most tattered laborer in the countryside could quite easily be labeled a podkulachnik.
in his book The History of Crimean Tatars wrote basically the same: unlike the term "kulak", the term "podkulachnik" did not have any definite meaning. For example in 1931 the Presidium of Crimean Central Executive Committee could assign a poor peasant into the category of podkulachniks, is he was "a bearer of kulakist-opportunist sentiments". In another case, the whole population of the village of Mangush was declared podkulachniks, because the village meeting issued a resolution that that in the village "there are no kulaks nor " — all are equal". Vozgrin gives more examples of this kind.
