government agrarian plan stalls as parliament stalls
A government agrarian scheme drafted by M Stichinsky rejects land expropriation from the crown and imperial estates and aims to distribute state lands in European Russia through peasant banks. The plan omits crown and church lands but would also restructure private land sales. Parliament shows little drive to legislate, focusing on interpellations to challenge the ministry while the Peasants League meetings provoke protests in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
