LAND REFORM AND COLLECTIVISATION OF AGRICULTURE - CASE STUDY: ROMANIA AND OTHER COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
Keywords:
Land reform, collectivisation, communist agriculture, agrarian reform, rural propertiesAbstract
Trough the conducted researches and studies during the present paper, we have tried to highlight the modalities in which the communist regimes in central and eastern Europe have confiscated, after World War II, the properties of their rural population. After a conducted survey we reached the conclusion that in most of the communist countries the socialist transformation of the agriculture followed the soviet model and generated great sufference to rural population. From this study we can affirm that the results expected by communist authorities were not achived neither by attracting sustainers to communist propaganda nor by obtaining much higher crops than before.
