The article considers the state policy on the agrarian issue at the turn of XX century. It
was the period when the government was at a crossroads, trying to find a course of re-
form that can reconcile the interests of different social groups of the Russian Empire.
This period was characterized by acute controversy of moderately liberal and conserva-
tive representatives of the higher bureaucracy on the nature of Russia's economic devel-
opment, the degree of state involvement in the financing of agriculture, ways of solving
the problems of the nobility and peasantry, as well as on the preservation of community
and social class isolation of the peasantry.
Keywords:
agrarian policy, Russian agriculture, farming community, manorial estates.
