The monograph reveals Communist party activity on involving working Cossacks into collective farms building. In 1920 the Soviet government abolished all Cossack privileges and between 1928 and 1933 the Cossack communities were forcibly collectivized. In 1936, however, the Cossack party regained status, being allowed to form several cavalry divisions in the Russian army. Although the Cossack communities were incorporated into the Soviet administrative system, their traditions and customs survived.
