Abstract
A distinct category within the agrarian component of the rural working class consists of workers employed in industrial-type enterprises on state farms. Sociological analysis of this category is of unquestionable interest both for theory and for the practical work of social transformation of the countryside. The process of convergence in social class between the agrarian and industrial workers of the villages, and between the workers of town and country, may be seen quite clearly in the example of these workers, whose labor contains elements of both industrial and agricultural work.
