Type: article
Abstract: The article examines the activities of collective farms in the Kharovsk district of the Vologda region during the Great Patriotic War, and identifies their contribution to the victory over fascism. Based on archival materials, periodicals, and scientific literature, the difficulties which collective farms faced from the beginning of the war are noted, preparation for spring sowing and the development of livestock production are analysed in detail, and the main duties of the collective farm peasantry are revealed. The author concludes that in the war years many collective farmers worked beyond the norm, but there were also those who shirked their responsibilities or worked as in peacetime.
