“The landlords' land was seized in {{w|Ozero}} in the summer of 1917—that is, during the {{w|Alexander Kerensky#Russian Provisional Government of 1917|Kerensky régime}}, and before the Communists came into power. I was told afterwards that by October of that year there was a single great estate left in the {{w|Samara Oblast|Samara "Government."}} But it appears that the formal allocation of the land did not take place until after the {{w|October Revolution|October (i.e., Communist) Revolution}}. With the land, the stock and implements (inventar) were distributed also.”
