Overview

This map visualizes archival data on blacklists (Ukrainian: чорні дошки / Russian: черные доски), showing the presence of blacklisted collective farms in certain districts and entire blacklisted districts for the period 1932-1933.

Blacklisting – or boycotting – districts meant curtailing the supply of consumer goods until certain policies were deemed to have been executed to a higher standard. In the case of collective farms, villages, and smaller units, placement on a blacklist meant even more severe penalties.

Simple hatching indicates entire blacklisted districts. Blue dots represent single blacklisted co-operative associations.

The purple boundary lines indicate the oblast boundaries of the October 25, 1933 administrative division of Ukraine into seven oblasts and the Moldavian Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic (Moldavia/Moldova).

Note that the placement of dots on this image are not geographically accurate and merely indicate presence somewhere in a given district.
