  • Summary

    This chapter reflects on the long-term impacts in contemporary Ukraine of the post-war developments described throughout the book. It traverses between contemporary accounts of the areas discussed in this book and their post-war developments, which look very different in Raska and Bila Tserkva. All of the farms reconstructed in 1948 began folding from 1950 onwards. They were swallowed up as part of Khrushchev’s 1950 campaign to amalgamate small farms into larger ones, forsaking them to the fate from which he and the Council on Collective Farm Affairs had saved them two years earlier. In Raska at least, the kolkhozniki kept their homes, land and graves, while many in Bila Tserkva were not so lucky. This set these areas on divergent historical paths that this chapter follows into the present.
