Most analyses of institutional change emphasize the design of formal institutions, but this study of land privatization in the Russia-Ukraine borderlands shows how informal politics at the local level instead can drive outcomes. Local officials in both countries pursued strategies that produced a record of reform, even as they worked behind the scenes to maintain the status quo. The end result was a facade of private ownership: a Potemkin village for the post-Soviet era. Far from creating private property that would bring development to the post-Soviet rural heartland, privatization policy deprived former collective farm members of their few remaining rights and ushered in a new era of state control over land resources. This study draws upon the author's extensive primary research in the Black Earth region conducted over a period of nine years. 606 $aLand reform$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aLand reform$zUkraine 606 $aRight of property$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aRight of property$zUkraine 615 0$aLand reform 615 0$aLand reform 615 0$aRight of property 615 0$aRight of property 676 $a333.3/147 700 $aAllina-Pisano$b Jessica$01015487 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248274503316 996 $aThe post-Soviet Potemkin village$92371564 997 $aUNISA
