An article on the shoes of the radical transformations that are joining them in Ukraine as they move towards a democratic, legal and social state, which sets the agenda on the risks and dangers of such reforms. In these conditions, the study of the Soviet experience becomes an identical example of the fact that any reconstruction contains not only positive but also negative aspects. Of course, it should not be considered that the capital of the USSR was not the subject of study of domestic and world science. In more detail, now formed two main areas of study of the capital, taking into account the concept of “enemy of the people”: the capital and anti-Stalinism. The same applies to collectivization. That is why, without prejudice to the selection of previous researchers, it should be noted that most of them are considered by collectivization in a purely legal aspect. Thus, with the help of this article there are statistics of historical and legal analysis of collectivization as one of the directions of Stalin’s reconstruction of the USSR. Most of the publications used with Stalinist themes are, one way or another, on the subject of repression. Today it is possible to conditionally allocate two main directions of realization of capital repressions. First, it was the destruction of the apparent and imaginary “opposition” to the Stalinist- Bolshevik regime. Secondly, it is the purification of the victims of “socialist reconstruction”, which is carried out in three directions: “industrialization”, “collectivization” and “cultural revolution”. As a general rule, the collective farm in the USSR was considered a form of agricultural production cooperative. The idea of agricultural cooperation corresponded to the socialist convictions of most politicians and thinkers of Soviet Russia and the USSR. However, the leadership of the USSR, headed by J. Stalin, put the collective farm form of agricultural cooperation, while, in fact, abandoning the main postulate of collective farm construction – voluntary association. At the same time, the frantic pace of continuous collectivization requires active resistance from the vast majority of peasants.
