Collectivization on the pages of the newspaper «Banner of the Commune» of the Novocherkassk region in 1930

The paper for the first time considers the reflection of collectivization processes on the territory of the Novocherkassk region in 1930 in the local newspaper “Banner of the Commune”. Among the main subjects are the problems of increasing the pace of collectivization, the unbundling and consolidation of collective farms, the fight against the class enemy, the elimination of the Kulaks as a class, the role of the “red wagons” in collecting taxes in rural areas, and the economic education of rural residents. At the same time, the study reveals the agitation and propaganda capabilities of regional periodicals to mobilize the local population to implement the decisions of the party and government.
