В статье освещается один из аспектов реализации столыпинской аграрной реформы на Черниговщине (1906–1917 гг.), в частности деятельность Крестьянского
поземельного банка по продаже крестьянам собственных банковских земель.
The article highlights one aspect of the implementation of the Stolypin’s agrarian reform
on Chernihiv region (1906–1917), in particular, the activities of the Peasant Land Bank for
the sale of own Bank lands to peasants.
The financial side of Stolypin’s agrarian reform provided the Peasant Land Bank. The
Peasant Bank had to acquire landlord lands and assistance in buying its farmers by providing
loans. The sale of Peasant Bank lands to the peasants titled «liquidation» of bank lands.
An assistance in the case of «liquidation» of bank lands was provided by the provincial
and district land managemental commissions, created in 1906–1907. The main objective of
the commissions was to promote of the Peasant Bank operations for the sale of the former
landlord lands to peasants.
In Chernihiv province «liquidation» works of the Peasant Land Bank estates during the
Stolypin’s agrarian reform was carried out the most active in Horodnia district and less lively
– in Nizhyn one. In 1906–1916 the Bank sold to the peasants of Chernihiv province 42,7
thousand dess. of bank lands for farms and land cuts. After beginning of the First World War
the operations of the Peasant Bank on Chernihiv region and throughout the empire declined
significantly, and in 1917 the Peasant Bank was eliminated.
As a result, over the years of the agrarian reform on own lands of the Peasant Bank in
Chernihiv province about a third of all farms and land cuts was created, this relative figure
was one of the largest among all Ukrainian provinces.
Thus, the «liquidation» activities of the Peasant Land Bank during the Stolypin’s agrarian
reform period occupied an important place in the process of land reforms. On Chernihiv region
the process of «liquidation» of bank lands in that time was one of the most active among all Ukrainian provinces.
