"Opting Out" Under Stalin and Khrushchev: Postwar Sovietization in a Borderland Magyar Village
As the Soviet Union emerged from World War II, extended its influence westward, and struggled to regain control over the population, a village on the western border strategically deployed its labor resources and selectively, but regularly and openly, thumbed its nose at state demands in order to protect the economies of individual households
Social contracts and authoritarian projects in post-Soviet space: The use of administrative resource
Drawing on evidence from Ukraine and other post-Soviet states, this article analyses the use of a tool of political coercion known in the post-communist world as adminresurs, or administrative resource. Administrative resource is characterized by the pre-election capture of bureaucratic hierarchies by an incumbent regime in order to secure electoral success at the margins. In contrast to other forms of political corruption, administrative resourc…

From Iron Curtain to Golden Curtain: Remaking Identity in the European Union Borderlands
The village of Kisszelmenc, a historically Magyar settlement at the edge of southwestern Ukraine, has been separated by an international border from its sister village of Nagyszelmenc, now in Slovakia, since just after World War II. A recent project to reconnect the two villages sought to support Magyar identity in the region through the reunification of village families. The opening of a border crossing project instead drove economic changes tha…
Property: What Is It Good For
This article argues that the problem of value rather than rule of law is of greatest significance in analyzing Russian property rights. Taking the privatization of agricultural land as an example throughout, the article first offers a critique of approaches that center on rule of law and investigates the role of informal institutions in providing contract guarantees. The article goes on to argue that much more than an absence of secure property r…
Seeds of Discontent: Russia's Food Woes
The Russian government ... risks losing some of its legitimacy in the eyes of the citizenry if food prices continue to rise and citizens begin to feel their daily existence slide into insecurity
The Post-Soviet Potemkin Village: Politics and Property Rights in the Black Earth
Why does the introduction of private property rights sometimes result in poverty, rather than development? Most analyses of institutional change emphasize the design of formal institutions, but this study of land privatization in the Russia-Ukraine borderlands shows how informal politics at the local level instead can drive outcomes. Local officials in both countries pursued strategies that produced a record of reform, even as they worked behind …
The Two Faces of Petr Arkad'evich: Land and Dispossession in Russia's Southwest, ca. 2000
At the beginning and the end of the twentieth century, the Russian imperial and post-Soviet governments pursued large-scale projects to transform land tenure in the countryside. Based on the belief that people would work harder and more productively on land they themselves owned, both reform programs divided collectively-managed land into individual parcels. Post-Soviet land privatization, consciously modeled on the Stolypin-era reforms conducted…

Sub Rosa Resistance and the Politics of Economic Reform: Land Redistribution in Post-Soviet Ukraine
This article examines obstacles to economic reform in Ukraine's transition to a market-based economy. Existing explanations for failures of reform in postcommunist states privilege societal actors, as in the case of Przeworski's J-curve, or state actors acting in a private, rent-seeking capacity, as in Hellman's partial reform equilibrium. Other explanations focus on weak state capacity. However, there is evidence to suggest that some groups of i…
Land Reform and the Social Origins of Private Farmers in Russia and Ukraine
This article examines land privatization in two administrative regions of Russia and Ukraine. In both regions, members of two distinct social groups were the beneficiaries of land distribution for private commercial cultivation: rural elites, and people on the margins of rural society. This double-ended distribution led to the recapitulation of Soviet forms of production. Traditional analysis of agrarian economies emphasizes actual productive cap…
