Abstract
In the 1930s, the activities of judicial bodies in Kazakhstan in the sphere of organizational and economic strengthening of collective farms encompassed important aspects of the socio-economic and political changes during the collectivization period in the Soviet Union on the territory of Kazakhstan.This article examines the role of courts, the prosecutor’s office, and other legal institutions in resolving land disputes, protecting the rights of collective farmers, and implementing state laws aimed at reinforcing the collective farming system. Special attention is given to the practice of repressions carried out in the context of class struggle against the “kulaks,” the elimination of individuals deemed harmful to the state, and the redistribution of resources.The article analyzes the role and actions of legal authorities in ensuring the organizational and economic consolidation of collective farms in Kazakhstan during the 1930s. During this period, legal institutions played a crucial role in legally supporting collectivization as well as the redistribution of land and property resources.Additionally, the article presents research findings on the influence of party leadership on the functioning of judicial bodies, the decline in their independence, and the transformation of legal practice into an instrument of state policy. The work of justice institutions in this period helps to understand how the legal system contributed to the consolidation of Bolshevik power, collectivization, and the policy of socialist transformation ofagriculture.
