Abstract
In the article the economic and political relations between the Soviet power and various groups of peasants in Volyn during the new economic policy (1921-1928) are analyzed. The analysis is based on archival documents and new research. The relations between the Soviet power and the peasantry were complex and contradictory. By 1922 the new power had been fighting against the insurrections and thuggery in the province. The committees of poor peasants became the basis for agricultural policy. However, their activity was not effective. The judicial land commission finally settled the disputes between the poor and rich peasants. The Soviet regime took away their land surplus and the part of the property. The rich peasants paid a large agricultural tax to the state and had to hide their property and income. Collective farms were few and economically inefficient. The rural authorities elections caused many problems and shortcoming. The rich peasants were often deprived of their voting rights. The peasants were mostly non-party. The non-party peasant conference criticized the authorities for illegal actions. Provincial authorities also organized a rural anti-religious campaign. The agrarian policy of the Soviet regime was determined by political and ideological factors. The peasants’ economic interests often did not coincide with that policy. Poor peasants opposed to rich peasants.
