On the question of agrarian measures on the territory of the Voronezh province during the implementation of the reform of P.A. Stolypin

Abstract

The article analyzes the state of the agricultural sector of the regional economy during the implementation of P.A. Stolypin's agrarian reform using the example of the Voronezh Province. The authors traced the dynamics and features of the transition of peasant communities in the Voronezh province to individual forms of management; investigated the specifics of the implementation of the resettlement policy of the state at the regional level. Using concrete examples from unpublished documents of the central and local archives, authors illustrated the process of transition of peasants to individual land ownership and land use. A comprehensive analysis of the documents showed that the implementation of agrarian measures in the Voronezh province contributed to certain evolutionary processes in the Russian countryside, the development of peasant entrepreneurship, the improvement and improvement of the level of peasant agriculture, but had a limited, contradictory nature and corresponded to all-Russian trends.
