Summary
This chapter examines how kolkhozniki and their supporters in the state and party structure went about recovering land and resources taken from them and punishing the local officials responsible. Similarly, examining how local authorities avoided punishments handed down to them for illegal appropriations offers insights into broader difficulties faced by central authorities in re-establishing control over the post-war agricultural sector.
