Wolves are mainly hunted for sport, for their skins, to protect livestock and, in some rare cases, to protect humans. Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities.
The peasant revolt following collectivization of agricultural lands was an anti-communist uprising supported by Western democracies that feared collectivization would push the Soviets ahead of them. The holomodor involved deliberate starvation of masses in Ukraine to push them into communism submission.
