Revolutionary changes of 1917 – 1919 in Russia didn't solve the problem of agrarian shortage of arable land in the central provinces of the country and the authorities were compelled to react to mass uncontrolled movements of peasants. Proper elaboration of the problem, providing legal support for implementing the process of resettlement, and a number of preliminary activities of the first half of the 1920s prepared the active resettlement and colonization programme of the second half of the 1920s – early 1930s.

As the result, the colonization fund was poorly prepared, preliminary explorations of resettlement sites were badly implemented, movement of immigrants and their settlement in new places were badly organized. This study facilitated some the reconstruction of some actual problems and features of realization Soviet resettlement and colonization campaigns at the initial stage, which our deepen knowledge of the researched object and promote introduction of certain amendments to studies of this problem.
