Redemption payments - a government operation undertaken in the Russian Empire in connection with the termination of serfdom.The main purpose of it is to move the allotment of land to peasant ownership.Prior to the reform people, with personal freedom, paid for the use of the landed estates and barshchina dues.They were "temporarily obligated peasants".
Redemption payments could be used regardless of the wishes of the landowner.However, the full amount, the amount of which was calculated on the basis of the provisions of the articles, the peasant had to bear in full.It provided for redemption loan.But it took place only in the field with the acquisition of land and homestead lands Settlement.Conclusion The transaction involves the termination of compulsory land relations between landlord and peasant.
redemption operation actually assumed, as a rule, voluntary mutual agreement.At the same time, the landlord may require the mandatory carrying out this operation.However, in this case, the redemption payments were calculated on the loan, and the landlord has lost the right to receive additional compensation.Additional funds will be dependent on the agreement concluded between a landowner and a farmer, in this regard, accurate statistics on the subject are missing.It is known, however, that the size of the additional amount equal to twenty to twenty-five per cent of the loan.
Redemption payments were the heaviest for the peasant view of direct taxes.The benefits are dependent on the dues that existed at the time.However, redemption payments were slightly less obrok.
in non-black earth provinces, where more fishing was developed, the amount of land was disproportionate to the low yield and the value of land.In such areas, the landlord has exhibited his land to purchase a certain economic calculation.And even if he loses the additional payment, in fact, sold the land for a price significantly higher than its actual value.So, for 1877, the ninth year the number of transactions at the request of the landlord almost twice the number of transactions by mutual agreement.
The Statute of the redemption was provided early and other forms of repayment.According to one article (Article 165), it was possible to make redemption payments and demand allocate appropriate area immediately.This land became the private property of a peasant.This article is somewhat shook the community kind of tenure.By the end of the 19th century, it has considerably increased the ransom of one hundred sixty-fifth article.For example, until 1882, the year it was transferred to the ownership of the peasant about 47,735 plots, and five years later this figure had increased to 101 413 holdings.Thus, by 1887, the ninth year it was purchased by more than twice as much land and plots than in the previous twenty years.
There was a certain order, according to which the assessment was carried out to determine the redemption payments and loans.There was the annual dues.It was installed in the allotted in perpetuity peasant allotment.The landlord rents received.Capitalized pay tribute six percent.From the calculated sum of eighty percent of the capital (in the case of the acquisition of the full allotment peasant), or seventy-five (if the farmer acquired a smaller portion) was given to the landlord.
of the annual six-percentage paying half a percent was given to the government to cover the costs for the organization and conduct of the operation, the remaining five and a half percent went to pay interest on securities issued by the landlord as well as the repayment of debt.
Cancel redemption payments occurred in 1907, though it was planned in 1932.Early termination of operations was due to the start of the Stolypin agrarian reform, as well as the influence of the events of 1905.
