Collectivization threatened the traditional way of life for many peasants who had control over their own land. By being forced to work on collective farms, they would lose their independence and autonomy. Additionally, there was a fear of government interference in their farming practices and a lack of trust in the Soviet government's ability to modernize agriculture effectively. Peasants also may have preferred to work in factories or pursue other career opportunities rather than being forced to work on collectives. Ultimately, resistance to collectivization was a result of a desire to maintain control over their own land and livelihoods.
