The Mobilization Model of Agrarian Policy in the Soviet Far East in the 1920s

This study analyzes the main directions of agrarian policy implementation in the Soviet Far East during the 1920s, based on newly available sources. It has been established that land distribution relations in Soviet society were regulated by an administrative-command system within the framework of organizational, infrastructural, and production transformations. The diversified agrarian economy was shaped by the differentiation of production and economic conditions, living standards, traditions, and preferences of Far Eastern agricultural producers. The study reveals that price instability in the agricultural sector affected the material and technical supply of farmers, while land and tax policies served as key institutional mechanisms influencing rural life in the region. As a result, an agrarian territorial-production structure emerged on the eastern periphery of the USSR, integrated into the Soviet socio-economic system.
