No, they were robbing and killing everyone who even slightly reminded "the bourgeoisie", "to build an equal society of workers". They also sold whatever they could abroad (they sold a fucking Alaska!), and villagers who stopped being serfs less than a century before, became modern slaves who couldn't leave their kolhoz (farming cooperative).
Edit: the big sale also involved grain, which led to starvation
