When Estonian and Finnish social scientists asked Estonians about their experience with the privatization of collective farms after the Soviet departure, they were surprised to hear it compared to the disastrous sinking of the passenger ferry . They explain how the industry had been so geared to large scale production that returning to the idyll of small-scale, private farms turns out to be very difficult. The study emerged from The Privatisation of Agriculture, the Family Farm Ideology and Class Formation in the Newly Independent Baltic Republics research project. Annotation c.
