Summary	The article deals with the work of supporters of the populist ideology promoting the idea of setting up collective farms using subsidies to be provided by the zemstvo (country council) and the charity funds. The author provides biographical data about the organizers of the agricultural cooperative associations — a country council clerk N. G. Fedorov, and a revolutionary G. A. Solomon. It is demonstrated that the theoretical ideas of the populists about the inherent peasants’ collectivism failed to be proven in practice: the peasants perceived the cooperative associations as a temporary means for restoring their private households — traditional form of the farmers’ work organization; as a result of which the associations were short lived.
