Abstract
The peasant movements in Balkans were guided by an ideology called peasantism, which can be defined as the outlook of peasantry on mix of political and socioeconomic issues in which peasants are interested and for whose solution they are fighting. To be precise, peasant movements had their own versions of agrarianism, developed by their leaders and ideologists, and they evolved over time as socioeconomic circumstances and political situation changed. This chapter deals with a description of agrarianism as a backdrop against which cases of peasant movements in Balkans treated and ends with a comparison between them, as well as an attempt to identify influences and entanglements. It notes that peasant movements in Eastern Europe and Balkans in particular were much more indigenous and tailored to local conditions than international socialist movement and still more than Moscow-directed communism. Keywords: agrarianism; Balkans; Moscow-directed communism; peasant movements; socioeconomic issues
