- Abstract
The main goal of the article was to reveal the particularities of Soviet modernization of Lithuanian agriculture and to show how this modernization was related to the community development of the countryside. Investigating Lithuanian Soviet modernization and its impact on the rural community relationship, authors used the case of one of the richest Lithuanian horticulture farm which was also a demonstrative farm at that time. So it could be assumed that Klausučiai is one of the best samples of Soviet modernization in Lithuania. Empirical data were collected during the period from April 2005 to May 2007, using the qualitative method; 26 informants were questioned. The investigation proved that the core point of Soviet agriculture modernization was agricultural production. Kolkhoz (or the state farm) serves as a symbol of Soviet rural modernization like a factory of agricultural goods, on which directly depended all other spheres of life as well as the communication of rural people. The life of each rural person totally depended on the kolkhoz system. That is why the kolkhoz rather destroyed the community of autonomous people than strengthened it.
