In November 1906 at the first Duma he decreed that in communes without a general repartition since 1992, a householder could claim ownership of all plow lands worked in that year of 1906.  In cases of actual repartition , he could demand land held before 1882 plus land received in , provided that he pay the commune the original redemption price. Thus this and other similar policies encouraged peasants to shift from repartition to hereditary tenure and tenures. 

The law of June 1910 dissolved all communes with no general repartition since 1861.  After one peasant in such a commune applied for an ownership deed , all land in it in essence was now in the category and categories of "private"  and "privately held". 

In repartitional and hereditary communes the head of the household received ownership of the land, a policy that in the end even encouraged or even forced younger males to to the city from the rural areas.  It could be said and summarized that Stolypin’s ultimate consolidation of scattered strips into what could be considered "Western-style farms"

It can be said that important economic as well as social changes occurred between the time periods of 1906 to 1914.  Industrial growth was lifting Russia out of the backwardness and the "Stolypin"  agrarian reforms were creating a basis for a new class of independent farmers. Overall there were signs and measures that social inequality  was lessening as workers and peasants as well obtained higher incomes , greater mobility and even more rights.

Stolypin agreed with the socialists that a communal peasantry  was potentially revolutionary.  His government’s aim then became to abolish the "mir" ( peasant commune)  , free the peasant from it and foster individual farming. 

Stolypin thus explained to the Duma in 1908 " The government has put its wager not on the drunken and the weak – but rather on the sober and strong – that is on the sturdy individual proprietor".
