For each step which infringed on interests of large land owners and other exploiter elements, caused from their party persistent resistance - sabotage, diversions, speculative political campaigns.
To Take at least performance of the law on landed property limits. Under this law it was necessary to withdraw from large land owners approximately 40 thousand hectares of the earth.
