thumb|1932 Socialist Realism painting, "In a pig-breeding sovkhoz" (Petr Stroev) thumb|Headquarters of the "Leninugol" sovkhoz, Kemerovo Oblast. thumb|Students from the Kazakh Agricultural Institute at the [[Novopokrovsky sovkhoz, 1991.]] A sovkhoz was a form of state-owned farm or agricultural enterprise in the Soviet Union.
It is usually contrasted with kolkhoz, which is a collective-owned farm. Just as the members of a kolkhoz were called "kolkhozniks", the workers of a sovkhoz were called "sovkhhozniks".
