Still generally a bad thing to do. I'd argue that was one of the Soviet Unions bigger Ls

I'd argue much larger Ls were actually centrally directed policies of ethnic relocation such as the deportations of Crimean Tatars or Koreans.

The deportations of Kulaks happened at a time of need in which forced expropriation of the land by the peasants was imperative to the rapid industrialization NEEDED to fulfill the economic plans that enabled the extremely fast industrialization of the USSE which ultimately saved the world from Nazism. Furthermore, those deportations were mostly decided by local soviets of peasants who had suffered under the thumb of said Kulaks for decades, and said Kulaks fought back against collectivization as a class. It was an act of class warfare, not an ethnic cleansing.
