Селянський фактор переходу до нової економічної політики (1921 р.)

Abstract

The contribution deals with the study of the New Economic Policy. The analysis of the declassified documentary data enables the author to expose a high level of socio-political activity of Ukrainian peasants in the early 20-ies of the XXth century. The paper explicates that the Ukrainian peasantry were dissatisfied with the policy of «war communism». Active anti-Soviet stand of peasantry forced the Bolsheviks to reconsider the doctrinal principles of Marxism, particularly its socio-economic component. The peasantry became a real threat to the Bolsheviks’ rule, which caused the transition to the New Economic Policy.
