In 1930, the artel was reorganized into a commune\u2014<strong>the \u00abEdinstvo\u00bb<\/strong> agricultural artel. It was named to symbolize national friendship and the unity of peoples, reflecting the fact that its members came from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Archivists prepared a selection of documents covering the artel&#8217;s activities during the first post-war five-year plan. Particular interest was shown in the \u00abState Act on the Perpetual Land Use Rights of <strong>the \u00abEdinstvo\u00bb<\/strong> Artel Collective Farmers\u00bb, which documented the allocation of a nearly 1,000-hectare plot for cultivation. The documents also reflect the efforts to rebuild the farm during the difficult post-war years; these include annual work plans and reports, ledgers tracking the accounting and distribution of income (both in cash and in kind), and minutes from general meetings of the collective farmers.<\/p>\n<p>Concluding the meeting, <strong>Archive Director Yuri Shestopalov<\/strong> emphasized:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00abKnowing and respecting the history of one&#8217;s region is a key task at the present time.
