How Did the State and Kinship Create Soviet Economy? Case of Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

The Soviet Union was established in about 1920, but due to large-scale processes such as collectivization, World War II, and their negative consequences, the transitional period that followed the establishment was extended to the late 1950s. Rapid Soviet modernization through the liquidation of local traditions was in many places just a show. This essay focusing on local practices argues that the Soviet economy in rural Kyrgyz Republic was created through the interaction between the state and local kinship relations. Moreover, where the Soviet class system was weak in rural areas in particular, kinship relations worked instead. Based mainly on freshly obtained empiric materials from a village in Kyrgyzstan, this article displays the mechanism of how the kinship and the state created an economy in the context of the Soviet rural areas.
