Summary/Abstract: The monograph by Anna Engelking Kolkhoz members. Antropological study of identity in the Belorussian country at the turn of 20th and 21st centuries contains results of the research thet has been carried out for twenty years in Belarus. The author poses questions concerning the identity of Belarussian Kolkhoz members formed by themselves and shows that it is based on clear contrasts: peasant / landlord, Christian / Jew, believing / unbelieving. These contrasts are rooted in the past but the author shows that the contemporary Belorussian country is immersed in the past and earlier social order is still present in people’s minds despite political and economic changes.
