Stalin’s economic policies were detrimental for USSR as they did not help USSR rather worsened it. For example, collectivisation. It benefited USSR a lot in the short term, like, 22.6 mil tonnes collected from peasants which is 2x more than in 1928 and increased in grain exports. However, there were also problems. Those that refused collectivization would get shot while those who obeyed starved. This affected the people greatly and in addition to that, many people lived in fear because of it. Hence, I feel that Stalin's Economic Policies were detrimental for USSR.
