Abstract

У цэнтры ўвагі – уяўленні беларусаў аб справядлівасці. Вызначаецца, у якой ступені беларускай савецкай дзяржавай былі ўлічаны традыцыі, што складваліся на працягу стагоддзяў і характарызавалі беларускую нацыю ў папярэдні перыяд. Даследаванне праведзена з выкарыстаннем мадэрнізацыйнай парадыгмы, якая дазваляе меркаваць, што змены гістарычных умоў не выклікаюць хуткіх (амаль аўтаматычных) змен у сацыяльным жыцці грамадства. Паказана, што базісным элементам разумення справядлівасці ў беларускага сялянства з’яўлялася праца. Праз адносіны да яе вызначалася разуменне ўласнасці, перш за ўсё ўласнасці на зямлю, сацыяльны статус чалавека. Зроблена выснова пра тое, што прынцып працы, які зацвердзіўся ў ментальнасці беларусаў як выяўленне справядлівасці, трансліраваўся і на новыя формы гаспадарання. Менавіта гэта прадвызначыла параўнальна высокія вынікі працы сельскагаспадарчых калектываў БССР 1930-х гг.
