The End. #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Those who dare to say Bolsheviks are wrong in giving us land will face a beating in EVERY rural area #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Praise God! My father and grandfather hoped this would happen one day. Finally, the land is ours! #1917LIVE https://t.co/HuW9muwTZ3

State-controlled media says peasants now live under normal circumstances! We produce food to get next to no money for our efforts! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@PutilovCo_1917 @ProvGovt_1917 Prices go up and @ProvGovt_1917 wants peasants to sell bread at fixed prices. What can we possibly buy with proceeds from sale?! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 Why should we sell bread at a loss? Are you planning to overcome economic crisis at the expense of the Russian peasants?#1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 Have you seen price tags on the goods? If the city wants bread – it must give us what we need at reasonable price, no other way #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

We’ve witnessed crimes our demoralized troops committed towards civilians while fleeing Galicia. The army is terminally ill! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Grain is plentiful, but @ProvGovt_1917 believes it is better to expropriate it from peasants than from landlords & grain dealers #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Bread problem is because of the destructive economic mode! Landlords sell grain for export despite domestic needs. That's insane! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 @NicholasII_1917 Once again landlords want to fool us and steal the land our forefathers have worked for centuries. No way! It’s ours! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 I remember my grandfather telling me how @NicholasII_1917's granddad Aleksandr II introduced his landless 'liberty' to us #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 Jesus! I can imagine what these deserters are doing in villages. Let this cup pass from me! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@RT_1917 Those Ukrainian settlers were brought to Far East by PM Stolypin, they got land for free from the state. Now they want it all! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@CaptZeitlin1917 @ProvGovt_1917 Agree! We need our boys back at the farms. This year shortage of labor will be critical. Hired hands have become too expensive #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@Gendarme_1917 @ErvinGrimm_1917 @RT_1917 No way! I’ve been telling customers that my moonshine is way better than booze they buy in drugstores! Buy natural! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Russia’s economic power is in its small businesses. Most of the grain in Russia is produced by us, small farmers #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

@StudentVlad1917 @VLenin_1917 What's the point in selling grain at such low prices? We’ve got to make a living as well and feed our kids! #1917LIVE

[Farmer A. Shaikin @FarmAndrey_1917]

Land reform postponed, but we’ve sown on seized lands anyway. Plus my moonshine business is making me a killing! Busy all day 🍷

@RT_1917 It's not so calm here. Many landowners’ estates in our region have been robbed & local farmers have seized previously rented lands #1917LIVE
