Historiography of the issue of institutional and social dimension collectivization

We study historiographic sources on one of the most urgent and of public importance, the agrarian history of Russia – collectivization of the agricultural sector in the black earth village. The purpose of the study is to examine the main articles and monographs devoted to the problem under study, to analyze domestic and foreign sources on the institutional and social dimensions issues in the course of collectivization. In this research we present and summarize the main conclusions of researchers about the historical experience of agrarian reforms carried out by the Soviet government during collectivization. The historiography of this issue is traditionally divided into four stages: works of the 1930s, works of the middle1950s – middle1960s, articles and monographs of the second half of the 1960s – 1980s and the modern stage. During this period, more attention was paid to the topic of institutional transformation in the studies. The collectivization social dimension has rarely been understood, mostly since the 1980s. Complement the domestic historiography of the work of foreign researchers: S. Fitzpatrick, M. Levin, S. Rosefield, E.H. Carr-Robert, W. Davis and S.G. Wheatcroft, A. Graziosi, P. Gregory and others. In their works, they explore the social, political, demographic aspects that accompanied the collectivization of the Soviet village. Analysis of domestic and foreign historiography allows us to prepare a synthesis of scientific papers on the problems of Soviet agrarian reforms 1928–1930s.
