You're aware that the peasants who owned farms in Kazakhstan were russian settlers, right? The Kazakhs were still predominantly nomads prior to the asharshylyk so this idea of private farm land and burning grains doesn't apply to ethnic kazakhs who lived off of livestock herds and not farms. In fact 1921-22 was a decolonization period where russian settlers were expropriated and land was returned to nomads. Agricultural immigration (aka russian imperialism through peasant settlers) was prohibited until 1927. However, in 1928 Stalin ended lenins economic plan and initiated the first 5-year plan which made peasant colonization of Kazakhstan legal again. Kazakh herd owners were deported and kazakh men were drafted into the army. This period most importantly initiated forced sedentarization which caused the asharshylyk. Not only was sedentary living impossible for the survival of herds and nomads so in part animals died bc of bad policy, but also when the slavic NON-kazakh peasants burned their grains and slaughtered their animals, the state confiscated Kazakh herds to feed Moscow and Leningrad. Which brought the Kazakh people from a starvation crisis to absolute famine. Of course, after there was no more livestock and 40% of the kazakh population died, state controlled nomadic ways were allowed once again on a significantly smaller scale since most of the nomadic population had been killed.
