The inner structure of livestock farming of the sub-taiga zone of Western Siberia (experience of system-structural multivariate factor analysis)

The purpose of the work is to find out the research potential of the factorial analysis when studying peasant farms of Siberia of the end of the 19th - the beginning of the 20th centuries. The specific objectives are to show the development of the main subsystems of peasant farms of livestock specialization, to determine their inclusiveness in the commodity-money relations on the basis of the factorial analysis, to reflect the importance of the factorial analysis in the study of peasant farms of Western Siberia of the turn of the 20th century. In the analysis GATO Fund 3 "Tomsk Provincial Board" materials, as well as research works of famous historians L.F. Sklyarov, V.A. Stepynin, L.M. Goryushkin, V.N. Khudyakov, B.N. Mironov, were used. The research is based on the technique of the multidimensional factorial analysis, whose study was promoted by P.F. Nikulin's "On the potential of the technique of the multidimensional factorial analysis of an internal economic structure of peasant economy of Siberia of the 20th century"; materials of works of F.P. Tarasenko and F.I. Peregudov are also used. The research problem is the ways of analyzing the economic condition and the internal system of cattle breeding farms of the sub-taiga zone of Western Siberia on the basis of the technique of the multidimensional factorial analysis. In this research work, this system is considered on the basis of the system and structural multidimensional factorial analysis. Mathematical methods are the cornerstone of the system analysis. They helped to see the inclusiveness of the main economic components of peasant farms in the economic development of the society of the Siberian region. Peasant farms of livestock specialization of villages Tashara and Dubrovino, Oyashskaya Volost of Tomskiy Uezd, Tomsk Province, were first selected based on the general data of the Tomsk all-provincial agricultural census of 1901. Six factors and their attributes were allocated. The factors and their maximum loads were distributed depending on the degree of their influence on the internal structure of peasant farms of the cattle breeding specialization. The obtained data were considered on the basis of the factorial analysis. During the research the author came to the following conclusions: cattle breeding farms of the sub-taiga zone of Western Siberia were involved in the all-Russian agrarian and capitalist market: they developed their key livestock industry, supplied the European part of Russia with live cattle and meat. The capitalized funds of peasant farms were not separated from the small-scale cattle breeding industry in a special subsystem yet. The grain industry remained small-scale and satisfied only family requirements, selling rye on the local market.
