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.

It could be said and summarized that Stolypin’s ultimate consolidation of scattered strips into what could be considered "Western-style farms"
