Land Relations in the Russian Village During the Agrarian Revolution (1917-1921)

Abstract

The agrarian revolution that swallowed Russia in 1917-1921, included processes of an economic, social, and political nature, led to a change in the social structure of the village. The article shows how the changes that occurred in land relations became the main ones during the agrarian revolution and in many ways expressed the fate of the Russian village in the XX century. Besides, the great experience of studying this topic in domestic and foreign historiography is shown. This work presents a rethought view of land relations based on a previously unused number of sources, including the regional level, which is rarely attracted by researchers. This allowed the authors to reach a new level of topic development. Today, the agrarian problem in Russia needs to be resolved again. A theoretical understanding of the chosen path cannot be carried out without a history of the made transformations.
