Abstract

The article describes the reasons for large-scale use of labour of special settlement peasants in the North in the 1930s, focusing on the importance of special settlers for agricultural development in the North and the hardships of their labour and living conditions. In the circumstances of risky farming, the special settlers had created a developed farming and livestock base by the late 1930s, becoming almost self-sufficient. The article examines the issues of local economic management by special settlers and their role in the regional economic development.
