@rafaellisboa8493 You are thinking of land re-distribution, which took place after the revolution during the NEP years of Lenin. Peasants were given lands and were allowed to keep excess grain or resell it after having fulfilled state quotas. Collectivization was undertaken under Stalin and was immensely damaging. Productivity dropped significantly and famine occurred in large areas of the country (the Holodomor).

Everyone lost land as they were collectivized. And food productivity DID NOT skyrocket, but often plummeted. This was because of a lack of enthusiasm from workers (not much compensation from the government, as they were forced to sell their grain to the government at artificially low prices).
