| Summary: | The article is devoted to the negative effects of the Emancipation Reform of 1861 on the Don region. The author shows that the result of this reform was mass resettlement of peasants in Mius District without the right of choice of land and compensation for real estate. The main attention is paid to the passive resistance of the inhabitants of one village attempts to evict them on unprepared areas, selected by their former landlord. Results of the research are the findings that the interests of the peasants living on the land of the yurt were completely ignored during the conduct of the Emancipation Reform, and that until 1868 the local officials refused to go on any compromise. Only after the complete failure of the brutal policies local administration made concessions and allowed peasants to select sites for relocation.
