    kill off all the land owners

    That didn’t happen here (Romania). They confiscated the land, but they didn’t murder anyone for it. Over the last 2 decades, there’s been a lot of reappropriation as well, where those who still have the pre-communist deeds to the land can sue to get it back.

      I won’t pretend to know details of Romanian history. I do doubt that Dekulakization was bloodless there.

        EDIT: Didn’t understand we were talking about collectivization, sorry. Never heard the term Kulak before.

        Actually, collectivization in Romania was very bloodless, at least until the USSR decided to lend a “helping hand” to “speed up” the process.
