PECULIARITIES OF LAND ALLOTMENT TO PEASANTS IN RUSSIA IN THE XIX - EARLY XX CENTURY

In relation to the state peasants during the first half of the XIX-th century, the policy of equal redistribution of land among rural communities was pursued, which caused active resistance of peasants, especially in the north. It can be seen that the peasants did not support the concept of a redistributive community, contrary to the opinion of the Slavophiles. Although there were sometimes economic justifications for this system, they were extremely rare. The article shows that the Russian imperial government, despite its experience in land relations and Stolypin's ongoing reform, failed to resolve the issue of providing peasants with land plots in the villages and regularizing land ownership in the cities. By October 1917 many contradictions had accumulated, which were solved with the advent of Soviet power.
