Agrarian Politics: Scientific Grounds and the «Authentic Russian Path» of Its Implementation

Buzdalov I.N.

Abstract

The deep and continuous agrarian crisis stampedes the whole process of Russia’s social and economic development. Negative consequences of the fiscal actions and hasty management decisions in agriculture aggravate this system crisis. Hence the alternative: either draw the lessons to change the agrarian policy starting from world approbated basic positions of agrarian theory and directing it along necessary protectionist guidelines or continue careless experimenting in the hope that all flaws could be excused by the «sins» of the specific Russian path.

Keywords

Russia, early 21st century, peasantry, agriculture, peasant question, agrarian policy in Russian history, agrarian policy today.
