I believe the word refers not to cannibalization, but to punishment of kulaks (richer peasants) resulting in imprisonment, deportation, or execution. Not being a Russian speaker, I turned to my favorite online translation tool: wikipedia. It doesn't work well for text, but does for anything encyclopedic. On the wikipedia site, you can look at an entry in English, say "United States," and find the entry then in another language on the left sidebar. Clicking on "Deutsch" will bring you to the German wikipedia entry for the U.S. It can work the same for reverse translations.

This word - раскулачивание - refers to the destruction or liquidation of the Kulak class during the 1920/30's, however, in the text below it doesn't really make any sense - the verdict was "destruction of kulaks", and then rehabilitated in 1995. Anti kulak activity was official government activity - so this term might have some special meaning not at all obvious to me.
