The initial stage of complete collectivization as a factor of intergenerational rupture in the Russian village

Abstract

The article analyzes the relationship between representatives of the “revolutionary turning point” generation (born at the turn of the 19th 20th centuries) and “children of the revolution” generation (those whose childhood and youth fell on the 1920s early 1930s) at the initial stage of complete collectivization of rural economy. Much attention is paid to the role of youth and especially the Komsomol in the evolution of the moral state of peasant “fathers”.
