November Decree 1906
Any head of a peasant family that owned allotment land by communal tenure, had the right to claim his share as private property.
October Decree 1906
A communal assembly in a village (the Mir) no longer had the right to impose forced labour on any person from that village who had gone against his public obligations.
What was the impact of the November Decree?
1915 Year book up to May 1st- 2,736,172 applications for land ownership. 1,992,387 had been confirmed.
June 1910 - New land decree
All communes where there had been no general distribution of land since 1861 were dissolved. Land shared out if majority vote decided on it.
Failure of Stolypin's reforms.
Didn't address land owned by the monarch. Didn't do anything to modernise farming techniques in the countryside.
What did Stolypin's reforms actually mean for peasant families?
The amount of land owned by peasants rose from 160 million desyatin to 170million desyatin. In reality this resulted in an 1/8th of a desyatin more per peasant family.
Did Stolypin's reforms win over the peasants?
When land reforms ended in 1915, 50% of families still under a form of communal tenure. Still great deal of poverty. Peasants farmed for themselves. Stolypin did not win over the peasants.
