Abstract

At the time of USSR collapse in 1991, all of the member countries of the Soviet Union, including Ukraine, had severe difficulties in implementing reforms and innovations.

   This paper aimed to clarify the process of Agricultural land reform implementation by classifying the evolution of land tenure changes, and discussing the peculiar features of such changes on the farm level.

   Extensive review of Laws, Decrees, Land Codes, and past studies on land reform in Ukraine were conducted. Data based on questionnaire survey of 50 private farmers of Zhytomyr oblast in 2010 is presented as well, with the aim to study peculiar features of land tenure changes during the reform that are not apparent by examining only policies and legislation.
