This monograph by Soviet Turkologist A. D. Novichev, published jointly by the Institute of Oriental Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences and Leningrad State University, constitutes the first comprehensive Soviet historical study of the Turkish peasantry across the full arc of the Turkish Republic's first three decades. Organized in nine chapters, the book traces agrarian conditions from the national-bourgeois revolution of 1918-1923 through Kemalist agrarian policy of the 1920s, the impact of the World Economic Crisis on the Turkish countryside (1929-1933), the agricultural reorganization of the 1930s, the peasantry under the conditions of the Second World War, and the agrarian reform of 1945-1950 and its aftermath. A concluding chapter examines the relationship between Turkish political parties and the peasantry in the post-war period. The work draws on Turkish-language statistical and official sources alongside Soviet and Western scholarship.
The volume was prepared under the responsible editorship of Ilya Pavlovich Petrushevsky (1898-1977), corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and one of the leading figures of the Leningrad school of Oriental studies, whose own monumental works on Iranian feudalism and agrarian relations in medieval Iran gave him particular authority in comparative agrarian history of the Near and Middle East. At the time of this publication Novichev was working at both the Institute of Oriental Studies and Leningrad State University; his subsequent four-volume "History of Turkey" (1963-1978) established him as one of the foremost Soviet Turkologists.
Issued by Izdatelstvo vostochnoy literatury (IVL) - the independent Oriental Literature Publishing House founded in 1957, which was merged into Nauka as the GRWL imprint in the early 1960s - the book exemplifies IVL's characteristic yellow-and-black constructivist-influenced cover design by artist L. A. Rapoport. With a print run of only 1,100 copies, this is a genuinely scarce volume. The "Printed in USSR" stamp confirms an export-designated copy, typical of academic titles distributed through the international book trade.
