【 摘 要 】
Background. The significance of the problem under study is due to the fact that the peasantry has always been the most disenfranchised part of society in Russia. In the middle of the 1960s, the USSR began a consistent implementation of the reorientation from the decades-old policy of merciless exploitation of peasant labor to comprehensive econo-mic support for the development of collective and state farms, strengthening both the mate-rial situation and the legal status of collective farmers and state workers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the most typical violations of the collective farm law and labor le-gislation in the 1960s on the collective and state farms of Ulyanovsk and Penza Regions, admitted by the management of the farms. Materials and methods. The solution of the tasks set in this study was achieved by applying the comparative historical method to the analysis of documents from the funds of the State Archives of Ulyanovsk Region, the State Archives of the Contemporary History of Ulyanovsk Region, and the State Archives of Penza Re-gion. Results. This article brings to light classified reports of the prosecutor’s office, re-gional audit commissions, agricultural departments, presented to the governors of Ulya-novsk and Penza Regions on the basis of inspections carried out between 1965 and 1966, which revealed numerous violations of the collective farm law and labor legislation. The most common violations were identified, grouped and analyzed. Conclusions. Studying the nature of violations of the collective farm law and labor legislation on collective and state farms, committed by their leaders, makes it possible to understand the real state of the organization and management of agriculture, peculiarities of the collective farm self-government, the legal awareness of the Soviet peasantry. The undertaken research makes it possible to fill the gap in the issue of collective farm management, as well as to present a more complete picture of the socioeconomic reality of the Russian countryside in the specified period of time.
