Firstly, by means of redivision of the plots of land, with the aim of equalizing of land tenure (both in the quantitative and qualitative respects) of different socio-economic and juridical categories of peasantry. Secondly, by means of liquidation of public, privately owned, church and cloistral, as well as some forms of Cossack landownership which personified itself, as a rule, semi-servitude agroeconomic forms. The policy and practice of agrarian transformations carried out by Soviet government, in the end of 1917
