Agrarian Transformations In Chechnya: Land Ownership And Use, 60-70s
Abstract
This article delves into the agrarian reform implemented in Chechnya during the 1960s and 1970s, shedding light on the transformative changes in land ownership and use. In the aftermath of the Caucasian War in the 19th century, the authorities turned their attention to the internal affairs of the mountain peoples, with a focus on agrarian restructuring.The two-stage program of agrarian reform in the North Caucasus, initiated in the 19th century, outlined the delimitation of lands and the determination of their legal status in the first stage. The second stage aimed at eliminating slavery and liberating dependent segments of the population. The demarcation of land in Chechnya and Ingushetia concluded in 1876, establishing a foundation for agrarian reforms that incorporated both communal and private land ownership. Given the limited prevalence of serf relations in Chechnya and Ingushetia, the primary focus of the land reform was the redistribution of the land fund between peasants organized in rural communities and local nobility. The article highlights the predatory nature of agrarian reforms in the North Caucasus, paralleling the abolition of serfdom in Russia. The study employs historical analysis to uncover the nuances of this transformative period, contributing valuable insights into Chechnya's agrarian history during the 60s and 70s.
