If they made it fifty hectares, they might have some takers.

The would allow a big enough unit to make at least a subsistence living off the land, and a worthwhile piece of land to justify later consolidation int a really workable agricultural enterprise. With enough agricultural enterprises, an industrial base and demand for non-agricultural employment, they will come.

The land beyond the Urals was a frontier once before, when HORDES of German peasants were lured there for promises of land, and there was a large ethnic German population before the royal family was deposed and the Soviet Union was formed.

A large part of the Kulaks who were liquidated by Stalin in the 1920’s and 1930’s, when farm collectives were being formed, were descendants of these same German immigrants.
