These tables give a fair indication of the results of the process, brought about by the revolution, of taking land from the upper groups and parceling it out among the lower. For all the lower groups of the peasantry there was, generally speaking, virtually a doubling of the land at their disposal, and sometimes even more. The expansion of land holdings also extended to the middle peasantry, who added to their holdings in al- most all sections of the country. Only from the upper groups did the revolution take part of their land, this part increasing in proportion to the size of the holding. A summary of the results of the redistribution of land among the various strata of the rural population in the Ukraine is given in the table below: ~—————Farm Areg—————— After Before Confis- Revo- Per Cent Revolution cated tion Change Change ——(in million dessiatins)—— I.
