The statement is False; peasants in the Soviet Union were often coerced into giving up their land for large state collectives. This collectivization policy, initiated by Joseph Stalin in the late 1920s, led to widespread resistance and significant social unrest. The belief that peasants willingly acquiesced to this change does not reflect historical truth.
