Answer:
The agrarian reform’s goal, in general, is to bring harmony between the rural and the urban
people. Agrarian reform is fundamental because of its economic gain of the country because
more than half the population is employed in the agricultural area. Agriculture is the primary
source of living, especially for the countries that are still in the process of developing. Tsarist
Russia failed to have peaceful relations with its citizens due to their unsuccessful agrarian law.
Bolsheviks planned to avoid such mistakes.
Making a change to the agrarian law was very important to not only the Bolsheviks but to the
Menshevik Georgians as well. For Russia, The First World War and the revolution crippled
Russia’s economy and brought instability and chaos to the country. The new Russian state
would mainly have to rely on the agrarian reform, because as mentioned before it brings
economic uprising to the country, and that is precisely what they needed. Support from the
working class and peasants was necessary if the crippled Bolshevik state was going to strive,
leading to the new government establishing the law that said that the control of the land would
be passed on to the lower class in the form of state collective farms.
The previous government failed to address the agrarian question and what the Bolsheviks
offered to the lower class, was acceptable to the majority of the citizens, although the promises
that were made were far from being perfect. The lower class wanted land divided up into
millions of smallholdings while the Bolsheviks trusted in collective farms worked on by the lower
class on behalf of the population. Lenin knew that if his Revolutions was going to live for a long
time, he needed to establish several things, such as: Winning over the peasants by offering
them the land that the previous government failed to do. While property was not exactly gifted to
the peasants, the new agrarian law meant that those who worked on the land after the 1917
Revolution had much more control over the way that land was farmed. The collective farms may
not have been a utopia for the peasants, but they were living better than they were, during the
former government. Lenin knew that he had to offer the lower class something that would be
unheard of in previous governments in order to gain the population's trust and keep the new
communist state in power.
In Georgia, on the other hand, there had been the usage of an ambitious, and mainly practical,
program to separate the large estates and distribute land to the landless lower class.
Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
