metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article explores the transition from “war communism” to the New Economic Policy in the Cossack
  regions of Southern Russia, one of the leading agricultural regions. The authors aim to identify regional features
  of the transition to the NEP on the Don, Kuban, and Terek in the context of military-political conflict between the
  authorities and the rural population. The novelty of this study is sources used for the first time: reviews of Special
  departments of military units and bodies of the Cheka, the North Caucasus Military District, reports of party
  bodies of the RCP(b), and Cheka organs. The reasons for the slow transition to NEP, weak support for NEP, and
  resistance to reforms of local party and Soviet employers are identified. The Civil War in the Cossack regions of
  Southern Russia was the most protracted and fierce, and it was a compound conflict: it combined class, class,
  and center-regional confrontation. The main subject of the conflict in the agrarian region was the ownership of
  land and agricultural products. The Soviet system destroyed the local Cossack self-government and abolished
  the estates, but it forced to preserve the labor allotment land use of the Cossacks. The Don and Kuban were the
  main sources of food for European Russia, what led to the preservation of the “war-communist” practices of food
  policy in 1921–1922. The personnel of the party and state authorities remained illiterate, recruited mainly from the inhabitants of other regions, and often underwent rotation. These factors caused not only an escalation of the
  social conflict, but also a crisis of governance. The transition to the NEP required the gradual restoration of civil
  peace in the Cossack regions, what was mostly achieved by the end of 1922.
