Operational control was maintained by state authorities through the appointment of kolkhoz chairmen (nominally elected) and (until 1958) through political units in the machine-tractor stations (MTSs), which provided heavy equipment to kolkhozy in return for payments in kind of agricultural produce.
Conceived as a voluntary union of peasants, the kolkhoz became the dominant form of agricultural enterprise as the result of a state program of expropriation of private holdings embarked on in 1929.
All production, however, was done for the state.

 Sovkhoz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Initially, sovkhoz farms were the ones which were created by the state confiscating large estates, while kolkhozes were typically created by combining smaller farms together.
The distinction between sovkhoz and kolkhoz was not significant in practice most of the time.
A sovkhoz would be organized by the state with workers who would be paid regulated wages, while in a kolkhoz the system of payment was different.

Here, though, is the crucial difference between zemstvo and kolkhoz, on the one hand, and mir on the other: The kolkhozniki did not run the kolkhoz, and the peasants did not run zemstva -- but the peasants did run the mir.
The kolkoz was indeed the mechanism through which the Stalinist state ripped off the peasants, just as the Tsarist state used the zemstva (and other organs) for the same purpose.
All governments in the capitalist world -- social democratic, liberal, conservative, socialist, labor -- have been and are systematically dismantling the welfare state in a mad scramble to make their respective nation states as investment-attractive as possible to international capital.
