Soviet power and its role in leading the process of resettlement of peasants in Semirechye in the 20s of the XX century

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that this problem remains insufficiently studied. The
the article presents materials about the process of resettlement of peasants immediately after the October
Revolution, which was led by the People’s Commissariat of Agriculture of the USSR on the basis of
using pre-revolutionary experience in the development of peasant colonization and put forward land
management of immigrants as one of the main events of the Soviet government. The state significance
of resettlement is emphasized by the creation with the direct support of the state of new resettlement
organizations and the formation of a system of financial support for resettlement. One of the large areas
of resettlement of peasants was the Kazakh SSR and the Kyrgyz Autonomous Region, in particular, such
a region as Semirechye, where one of the first measures in this direction was land-water reform. The
reform in Semirechye is revealed, the priority of the land-using population is indicated. Political errors in
the reform are noted. Since the mid-1920s resettlement was carried out in accordance with the plans for
the development of the national economy. But in the late 1920s, peasant resettlement began to decline.
