MIGRATION MOVEMENT OF THE PEASANTS IN THE CENTRAL BLACK EARTH REGION IN 1920s
The article is devoted to one of the most important social and economic problems of Russian history - the resettlement movement, which has not lost its significance these days, since the development of various regions of our country depends on the resettlement policy and practice. A look back analysis of the resettlement of the peasants of the Agricultural Center of the 1920s, primarily to Asian Russia, is especially relevant at the present time because today the reverse processes of population outflow from Asian Russia prevail. And the task of increasing the labor resources of the eastern regions of Russia remains a difficult task. Various aspects of the resettlement of peasants from the Agricultural Center of the 1920s remain little studied. Problems of the resettlement of peasants in the largest agricultural region of Russia are shown in this article based on speciic historical material using archival documents. The traditional agrarian overpopulation and the repeated famines of 1921 and 1924 contributed to restore the resettlement movement after World War I, the 1917 revolutions, and the Civil war. State policy, the material and organizational possibilities of resettlement, the causes and extent of resettlement, difi-culties and problems of peasants who decided to improve the financial situation of their economy are shown by the example of the Voronezh, Tambov, Kursk and Oryol provinces of the 1920s. The Migration Movement of the 1920s from an area where peasants traditionally suffered from low land, it had both features common with pre-revolutionary time and speciic features characteristic of the policy of the Soviet leadership during the period of the new economic policy. In fact, state aid to immigrants covered a small period from 1925 to 1928 and could not radically change the situation in the resettlement issue. Also, the article shows the activities of local regional authorities, who considered resettlement to be the most important means of solving the problem of the backwardness of the Central Black Earth Region.
