1. Zhurablovka bile/ was.. created around an old Czariat settlement and was Under the
administrative supervision of Novobrack�04 The. entire area contained 13,000
hectares of land_of which only 3,000 were under tillage.
. Each kolkhoznik, or -where two families lived in one dwelling, had a small
barnyard' attached to the house for a pig or several chickens. However
those who kept chickens had to submit astpcified amount of eggs to the
kolkhoz administration as a tax. If the hens were not laying, then the
chickens were confiscated. The same applied to pigs. Also a specified
percentage of fat and meat had to be submitted when the pig was slaughtered.
If there was a iitter,a kolkhoznik had to feed them until they were eight
months old and then had to give them to the authorities.
3. In order to make ends meet, the entire family had to work in the fields. Those
who had children would enter them into a children's home where several women
took care of them. throughout the day. The children were also kept in such a
home because they lacked proper clothing and shoes.
4. Once a year a kolkhoznik was allowed to go to a state store and purchase (if
he had the money) one shirt, one pair of trousers, and occasionally,, material
for women's clothing. He was also allowed to purchase one pair of shoes every
two years. These had pig skin uppers and had rubber soles and heels. Since
they did not last very long, a kolkhoznik would often make his own shoes,
using cloth or felt tops and wooden soles.
in Zhurablovka, each kolkhoznik was allowed to keep one
cow. Because the authorities requested a high quota of butter and milk, the
kolkhoznik soon destroyed the cow for meat.
