Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between the peasants and the authorities during the Great Russian Revolution. The stages in the study of this problem are highlighted. When considering the mechanism of formation of power structures in rural areas, the specifics of sociopolitical associations in the countryside, which differed from those in the city, are revealed. The self-organization of the rural world manifested itself in the creation of grassroots peasant committees that implemented communal forms of popular representation. The organizing role of the provincial and district peasant congresses, which the peasants endowed with law-making powers, is shown. The reasons for the support of the peasants, both by community members and small owners, of Soviet power are revealed, the ways of its constitution on the ground are considered, and the use of power without justification of the traditional folk values is proved.
