Opis

Since the collapse of the USSR there has been a growing interest in the Stolypin Land Reform as a possible model for post-Communist agrarian development. Using recent theoretical and empirical advances in Anglo-American research, Dr Pallot examines how peasants throughout Russia received, interpreted, and acted upon the government's attempts to persuade them to quit the commune and set up independent farms.

Recenzje

Judith Pallots creative book promises and delivers the first intensive examination of the land reform per se for the whole decade in question, from its inception in the central government to the process of implementation at the local level, all the while bringing to bear the authors considerable skills as a historical geographer.
