What did stalin expect people to do during the depression

During the Great Depression, that took place between 1929 and the late 1930s, the Soviet Union was under the totalitarian communism government of Joseph Stalin.

As the Soviet Union was slightly affected by the depression because it wasn't part of the capitalism system, Stalin started a 5 years plan to reinforce the country's economy, by a rapid industralization and the government control of the farms.

He started the Terror regime in which farmers were forced to give up its lands to the government, and the ones who refused was killed or exiled to labor camps. All that represented a threat to the dictatorship was vanished by the Secret Police.

As capitalist countries were too afected by the financial crisis, a massive immigration to the Soviet Union took place with the objective of reaching job opportunities, people got jobs but working hours were excessive and work conditions were not good. The Soviet Union receive those immigrants until the first Worl War in 1941 when most Germans and French were arrested and sended to Siberia.
