Legal Ideas of the Native Residents and Settlers of Siberia and their Embodiment in Land-relation in the Period after the Reform (1861-1914) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2003. Issue 5 (37). P. 96-98

The issues of legal culture and legal ideas of the peasantry population of Russia in the process of agra¬rian colonization of the regions behind the Urals are analyzed in the article. M.K. Churkin, generally ac¬cepting the thesis of the predominant role of the re¬gular legal grounds in the mentality of peasants, still believes that the measures taken in the post-refor¬mation period couldn't help influencing legal mentali¬ty of the peasants of European Russia. New ideas of law predominance in the social and economical life (mainly in agriculture) were transferred by the Rus¬sian settlers in 70* - 90th of the 19th century and at the beginning of 20th century to the colonized regions of Siberia. At the same time the legal ideas of the peasants - settlers and native residents of Siberia (whose mentality was formed in the condition of state remoteness and land expanse) often differed greatly which caused the land conflicts.

Peculiarities of the Agricultural Crisis in the Provinces of the Central-Black-Soil and European Part of Russia, and Possible Ways of its Overcoming in the Second Part of the XIXth – Beginning of the XXth Centuries // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2006. Issue 1 (52). P. 29-37

By the end of the XIXth and the beginning of the XXth Centuries, the crisis became evident in peasant economy of the European part of Russia. Several ways of overcoming these challenges appeared in the agricultural sector of Russian economy. The researchers understand that it was not possible to overcome the scarcity of land and the abundance of working people by means of political force. Detailed studies have shown the ineffectiveness of using interior economic reserves to eliminate the agricultural crisis. Eventually, it became apparent that these methods were not yielding sufficient results to address the chronic agricultural crisis. As a result, the forced migration of peasants to Siberian Region became a vitally necessary solution.
