According to Lenin's Design: Socialist Reforms in Agriculture and the Training of Specialists

Abstract

With historic inevitability, the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution brought profound economic, sociopolitical, and cultural reforms in the countryside through the total abolition of private ownership of land and through the active assistance of Soviet power to the working peasantry. After analyzing the social processes in the countryside, the 8th Party Congress (March 1919) noted that Soviet power, having completely abolished private ownership of land, was on the verge of implementing a series of measures aimed at the organization of large-scale socialist agriculture.
