A combination of the principle of nationalization with communal land tenure and repartitions proved to be the worst possible way of regulating land relations from the national economic standpoint. The revolution clearly demonstrated that what mattered here was not allotment size or additional allotment but an ability to raise the level of production. For the peasants, the agrarian revolution turned out to be a great disappointment: the expected abundance of land did not materialize. For Russian agriculture as a whole, this revolution was a destructive process of immense force. The famine that broke out in Russia as a result of the revolutionary distribution of land made it clear that a mere repartition of land could not resolve the agrarian crisis.
