Background. The purpose of this work is to analyze the first steps of the Bolshevik government to form a system of agricultural management. The socio-economic and political conditions and features of this process are determined. Attention is focused on the political bias of the government’s activities in organizing agricultural management, the priority focus of this activity on the development of large public farms and support for the rural poor. An important condition for studying the modern system of agriculture, especially its management, is the need to study the experience of agricultural management in the historical past, which determines the relevance of this study. Materials and methods. The research is based on documents and materials that reveal the essence of the Soviet system of agricultural management at the initial stage of the formation of the Soviet government and works by scientists in the field of organization of public farms in the Russian countryside. In the course of preparing the work, we used basic research methods – dialectical, historicism, objectivity, system ones which allowed us to organize and structure the material taking into account agricultural issues. We also used common research methods such as problem- chronological, historical description, comparative-historical ones which allowed us to form a holistic view of the origins of the Soviet system of agricultural management. Results. The system of agricultural management in Russia in the period 1917– 1920 is studied, allowing us to identify the features of the formation and management of agriculture at the initial stage of its development. Conclusions. It is concluded that initially the functioning of the management system of the agricultural sector of the economy was based on the principle of command administration, characteristic of totalitarian regimes. The emerging system of agricultural management was based on the principles of strict leadership and dictate. There was an acute shortage of managerial personnel in the field of agriculture. In general, in this period of time, it was not possible to create a coherent management system. |
