Abstract

In the article the activity of the committees of the poor peasants, the relations between them and the Soviet power and various peasantry groups in Volyn during the new economic policy (1921-1928) are analyzed. The analysis is based on archival documents and new research. Activity of Committee of the poor peasants in Volyn Region in the period of new economic policy was complicated and controversial. That was proved by permanent «cleaning» and reorganizing processes inside these organizations; the middle class peasants who were their members pursued their economic interests and tried to extend their influence in the countryside. Analysis of archival documents allows conclusions to be drawn that the Soviet government kept under its ideological control consciousness of the poor peasants, Committee of the poor peasant’s members, aiming them against wealthy peasants as well as in anti-religious trend. As a result of those processes there appeared complicated relations between the poor peasants and middle class ones. Despite this government failed to establish effective work of Committee of the poor peasants and involve majority of its members into collectivization of peasant farms process in that period.
