It has been detailed in the study. The history of collectiviziation is divided into three parts. In the first one the organization of co-operatives is shown betweeen 1950—53. In the following part the effect of К. V. decision of June 1953 is analysed up to spring 1957, then the completion of collectivization is outlined between 1959—62.
