AN EXTRAORDINARY LOOK AT MODERN TRANSFORMATIONS OF LAND RELATIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE AGRARIAN HISTORY OF UKRAINE

The reviewed monograph largely provides answers to the following acute questions: What were the historical preconditions and stages of agrarian reforms on the territory of our state within modern borders? How did evolutionary changes and revolutionary-repressive changes affect the property status of peasant farms, the formation of the middle class in the countryside, the development of local self-government, the realization of human, social and natural resources of the agricultural sector, socio-political and socio-economic structure of the state as a whole? Its authors explore the real internal challenges and external threats of the hasty launch of an oligarchic land market model imposed by international creditors at the behest of rent-seeking business groups and global speculators that brutally ignores the constitutional rights of the Ukrainian people and the interests of the Ukrainian peasantry.
There are various models of possible market turnover of land rights. For each of them, both positive and negative consequences are revealed according to the criteria of balanced rural development and the main tenants from their introduction. Guidelines for the gradual completion of land reform for the short, medium and long term, its goals and expected socially acceptable results are proposed.

Keywords:land privatization; concentration level of land resources; rent-oriented business groups
