This article fills that gap by investigating the implementation of grain registration in Penza province, thus adding to and complicating the increasingly decentered picture of food‐supply policy and its impact in 1917. This study asserts that a major turning point during 1917 was the poor Volga harvest, which contributed to the threat of a prolonged subsistence crisis in an intermediary province already enduring the collapse of critical resupply channels. In this context, initially ambivalent volost officials and peasants came to embrace grain registration in the post‐harvest period as a way to document a legitimate claim to receive grain. This article adds to our understanding of the variability of peasant agency exhibited during 1917. The main post‐harvest struggle was over competing interpretations of the registration process between volost and district officials. The latter were pressed by provincial and central superiors to increasingly utilize armed force, not to compel compliance with registration, but to hasten the delivery of grain to urban consumers. This study illustrates how the Provisional government’s turn to state violence to establish its procurement authority was a function of how its policies, combined with deteriorating local conditions, produced competing entitlements to grain. Rather than a continuum of crisis in which Provisional government food‐supply policies repeatedly exacerbated crisis by failing to overlap with local demands and provoked resistance among grain producers and consumers, a combination of state and non‐state factors produced an economic environment in which the interests of both volost officials and peasants were served by key features of the state grain monopoly, especially grain registration.","PeriodicalId":83255,"journal":{"name":"The Russian review","volume":"27 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139530952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their aim was to collect eggs from island bird colonies and hunt seabirds in order to supply famished cities with eggs and salted birds’ carcasses. The voyages were part of the local struggle for food and a reaction to the Soviet government’s urgent call to use all available local resources to ward off large‐scale famine on the Soviet home front. This essay discusses the organization, the course, and the outcome of the expeditions, and evaluates the role of specialist knowledge, local economic tradition, and various agencies—from Soviet, party, and Komsomol organizations to Soviet economic trusts and individual actors—in bringing these expeditions to life. It argues that, rather than being a centralized campaign staged by the state, the struggle for food was largely fought on the local level, with regional institutions assuming substantial responsibility and demonstrating a significant ability to improvise in their search for food. Ultimately, the population’s efforts to survive the famine, and their association with the regime through their collective struggle for food, were important factors that strengthened Soviet resilience.","PeriodicalId":83255,"journal":{"name":"The Russian review","volume":"60 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139153150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
