Stalin enforced the Holodomor Genocide famine in harsh ways  The authors of the history place argue that "Declared "enemies of the people," the Kulaks were left homeless and without a single possession as everything was taken from them, even their pots and pans. It was also forbidden by law for anyone to aid dispossessed Kulak families. Some researchers estimate that ten million persons were thrown out of their homes, put on railroad box cars and deported to "special settlements" in the wilderness of Siberia during this era, with up to a third of them perishing amid the frigid living conditions." The author tells about how the Kulaks were made "enemies of the people" and were forced out of there homes and this is important because soon after he used this to declare anyone in the Ukraine who didn't want to be on a collective farm a Kulak and deported.

After the people kept rejecting the collectivization Stalin decided to take people from their homes using his troops. According to Lana Babij part of the Holodomor awareness committee "Armed brigades of Soviet troops forcibly confiscated land, livestock and other property, and evicted entire families. Thousands of Ukrainians were forcibly removed from their homes and sent by train to uninhabited places in Siberia. Stalin then created mandatory quotas of foodstuffs to be shipped out of Ukraine to other parts of the Soviet Union." this is a way of how the Soviet troops took people from there homes and sent them to die in Siberia because they didn't listen to him.

Another way Stalin enforced his genocide was to ban leaving and used his police and troops to do so. Warren Mass author of Stalin’s Holocaust in the Ukraine says that "Emigration was banned and an internal passport system was instituted. The GPU (secret police, predecessors to the KGB) was ordered to ban “by all means necessary the large-scale departure of peasants from the Ukraine and the Northern Caucasus for the towns. Once these counter-revolutionary elements have been arrested,” the order continued, “they are to be escorted back to their original place of residence."" this is an example of how Stalin forced the  people to stay and work on the collective farms. He used force and fear of being arrested and shipped out to Siberia.

Later many towns were stripped of food and the hungry starving people were not given help. Britannica school encyclopedia argues that "Farms, villages, and whole towns in Ukraine were placed on blacklists and prevented from receiving food. Peasants were forbidden to leave the Ukrainian republic in search of food. Despite growing starvation, food requisitions were increased and aid was not provided in sufficient quantities.The crisis reached its peak in the winter of 1932–33, when organized groups of police and communist apparatchiks ransacked the homes of peasants and took everything edible, from crops to personal food supplies to pets." These are ways that the Soviets took food and forced people to go hungry this is so important because the people of these places were dying from hunger because their government was greedy and forced a famine to get rid of them and have more food for the bigger cities.

Ways that Stalin Benefited from the forced collectivization and embargo of the Ukraine Stalin was worried of rebellion and was worried about how the farmers were not working as hard as they used to. Britannica school encyclopedia says that "He was also concerned by anger and resistance to the state agricultural policy within the Ukrainian Communist Party. “If we don’t make an effort now to improve the situation in Ukraine,” he wrote to his colleague Lazar Kaganovich in August 1932, “we may lose Ukraine.”" This was a benefit to Stalin because with the famine he renewed his power of the people as he did not want any threats to hos power or rule.

Stalin also wanted to get more food out of the Ukraine and he thought to do this by collective farming. Taylor Krawczweski editor of world without genocide says "Through his collectivization policy, Stalin’s goal was to increase productivity from the farmers through eliminating small, privately-held farms and turning to mass agricultural policies.  This resulted in the Soviet government seizing all privately owned farmland and livestock, which had a devastating effect on Ukrainians in a country where 80 percent of the people were traditional village farmers. Among the farmers, there was a class of people called Kulaks by the Communists." this is a benefit to Stalin because he got rid of private farming which was something that he did not like.

Stalin had claimed that the famine was not man made according to Taylor Krawczweski editor of world without genocide "The Russian government continues to cite claims of a man-made famine as “falsifications of history.”" this is a benefit because Stalin was able to claim that this famine was not man made.

According to Lana Babij part of the world without genocide committee "In fact, in November 1933, the United States, under newly elected president Franklin D. Roosevelt, chose to formally recognized Stalin’s Communist government and also negotiated a sweeping new trade agreement. The following year, the pattern of denial in the West culminated with the admission of the Soviet Union into the League of Nations." The US actually negotiated a trade agreement and did nothing. though this was near the end in late 1933
