THE SEIZURE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE CENTERS OF THE UKRAINIAN SSR BY PEASANTS IN SPRING 1930
In the article on the authority of analysis of archival materials and publications of documents and materials the cases of seizure and peasants disruption of public authorities in the administrative centers of the USSR in the spring of 1930, during the biggest unrest and uprisings against total collectivization are tracked. A brief review of scientific development problems was done. The most active actions of Ukrainian peasants to eliminate Soviet authorities and security forces during mass demonstrations and riots were considered. It was found that in the spring of 1930 Ukrainian revolted peasants took a short control over four regional centers in Berdychiv, Tulchyn and Mogilev districts. The cases of introducing alternative government and the degree of threat of disruption of Bolshevik power in Ukraine due to liquidation of local Soviet government by insurgent peasants are analyzed. The article concludes that despite the enormous scale of anti-kolkhoz peasant movement, its anti-statist component was quite small.
Key words: Ukrainian peasantry, collectivization, the district center, resistance, Holodomor, purges.
