Once was during collectivization, which began in 1929 and was largely completed by 1932, and he used quotas in the period 1937-38, which was the period of the Great Terror.

In the case of collectivization, quotas were how many people to shoot (not terribly many), how many to put in jail (more), and how many to deport to remote regions.”
