Description
Summary:The article talks about achieving conditions of agrarian reform in the years 1920-1921, in Bukovina and Bessarabia. The journals and archival documents, which refer to this problem, are not fully used in the scientific literature. The research proposed by the author allows a reflection of agrarian realities in some counties of Bukovina and Bessarabia. It is an attempt to review the basic stages of this process. The collected material proved that in the region, the conditions for a reform were fulfilled. The agrarian overcrowding did not allow authorities to give land to all peasants. Solving this problem, at that time, was impossible, because of the lack of arable land in a specific region. A positive aspect of land reform must be noticed: after its achievement, the correlation between the landowners and small tenants was changed -tens of thousands of peasants were granted with land.
