Abstract: After carrying out a new economic policy in 1921, the Soviet peasants generally changed the negative attitude towards the Soviet regime which was formed in the period of communist policy of the war days and their social feeling was initiatively amended. However, the relationships between the peasants and the Soviet state power were not stable. In the middle period of the 1920s, the attitude of the vast numbers of the peasants took turn for the worse, because of heavy taxes, irrational price policy and unfair treatment of them. Until the last stage of the new economic policy, the peasants’ strong resentment became more acute once again and they turned into a powerful opposition force to some degree.
Key words: new economic policy; Soviet state power; peasant; social sentiment; grain tax
