Abstract:

The complaints filed by those who had been affected by the last wave of collectivisation help us get to know their strategies and decision making processes, thus these documents are a very interesting, colourful part of the sources documenting this period. The personal ups and downs of those harmed by the collectivisation cannot be simply processed by looking through files of complaints since the personal experiences of collectivisation are not revealed only through complaints. One can, however, state that the large number of filed complaints made it possible to conduct various investigations and these offer a valuable insight into particular positions on those involved in agriculture at the turn of the 1950’s and 1960’s by giving the reader a glimpse of the procedures, methods and of the grievances these actions caused. They also reveal another segment of the Kádár era.
