Summary/Abstract: The study examines the process of collectivization in Three Seats (Háromszék) County during 1949–1950, with particular emphasis on the anti-collectivization movements that emerged in 1950.Beginning on 12 June 1950, the authorities launched a large-scale collectivization campaign based on coercion and violence. As a result, anti-collectivization movements broke out in 22 villages. The security forces suppressed these protests through a coordinated operation carried out during the night of 22–23 September 1950 in 13 villages. Peasant householders identified as the alleged instigators of the unrest were forcibly evacuated together with their families. During the operation, clashes occurred in several villages between the security forces and local inhabitants attempting to protect the villagers, resulting in the deaths of four local residents
