Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that this problem remains insufficiently studied. Thethe article presents materials about the process of resettlement of peasants immediately after the OctoberRevolution, which was led by the People’s Commissariat of Agriculture of the USSR on the basis ofusing pre-revolutionary experience in the development of peasant colonization and put forward landmanagement of immigrants as one of the main events of the Soviet government. The state significanceof resettlement is emphasized by the creation with the direct support of the state of new resettlementorganizations and the formation of a system of financial support for resettlement. One of the large areasof resettlement of peasants was the Kazakh SSR and the Kyrgyz Autonomous Region, in particular, sucha region as Semirechye, where one of the first measures in this direction was land-water reform. Thereform in Semirechye is revealed, the priority of the land-using population is indicated. Political errors inthe reform are noted. Since the mid-1920s resettlement was carried out in accordance with the plans forthe development of the national economy. But in the late 1920s, peasant resettlement began to decline.
