1929Soviet General Secretary Joseph Stalin orders the "liquidation of the kulaks as a class".[†]

The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the leader of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). From 1924 until the country's dissolution in 1991, the officeholder was the recognized leader of the Soviet Union.
