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. Red dots represent single blacklisted villages or village councils.

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.
