Conclusion

The Russian state’s official administrative system determined who could immigrate to the Molochna region, provided the infrastructure that permitted them to come, and determined where in the river basin they would settle.

To that point the state had fulfilled its self-assigned ward­ship duties admirably. However, the expectations of the state about how the settlers would use the land they had been assigned were based on a belief that environmental conditions were malleable and would accommodate themselves to the wishes of the state. In reality the envi­ronment demanded adaptation, and if the state was not prepared to adapt or to provide realistic guidance in this regard, settlers would have no choice but to do so for themselves. The paths of adaptation they would find and the ways these affected Molochna society as a whole are the subject of Chapter 3.
