Abstract
The author traces changes in land use and population characteristics on an unidentified state farm in Kalinin Oblast under collectivization and farm consolidation after World War II. He argues that past policy has damaged agriculture's environmental base, destabilized its demographic foundations, and disrupted normal modes of life in the countryside. He advocates the development primarily of individual and cooperative forms of land tenure for small villages in the Nonchernozem Zone of the RSFSR as one means for restoring local and individual initiative, fostering rural traditions, and helping resolve the country's food problem (translated by Andrew R. Bond).
