Summary/Abstract: Proceeding from the case of farmer Ion Chioreanu, the documents present the way agriculture was collectivized in the village of Garbova de Sus, Alba County, providing significant evidence as to how the communist authorities ruined the village world, as well as to the various aspects of resistance to collectivization. Pressured by the local authorities, Chioreanu applied to join the Garbova de Sus cooperative farm without oxen, carts or farm hands, and reserving at the same time the right to use the harvest of 1961 for his own needs. Although the application, including the conditions, was approved, Ion Chioreanu was subsequently arrested.
