Recently published details have revealed how the West Siberian peasant uprising in 1921
or “Ishim rebellion” began. The Latvian member of
gubprodkoma Lauris Matthew used his
power for personal gain and lust. He settled with armed detachments in the villages and
demanded the production of women for himself and his gang.
Tyumen Gubierna production commissar Indenbaum, after severe grain procurement in
1920, when the area to 1 January 1921 fulfilled 102 percent of the surplus target, with even an
extra week announced the end of the surplus—from 1 to 7 January, that is, just before Christmas
week. The other county commissars including Ishim received a directive that “the surplus should
be attained
regardless of the consequences, including the confiscation of all the bread in the
village.” (italics mine. - AS), leaving only a starvation ration for the hungry producer. In a
personal telegram, Indenbaum required “the most ruthless violence to increase the quantity of
confiscated bread in the villages.” In the formation of food detachments Indenbaum knowingly
accepted former criminals and
lumpen who readily beat the peasants in order to compel them to
reveal where their grain was hidden. At the Tenth Congress the Kavbureau’s Tyumen delegation
reported that those peasants who did not want to surrender their grain to the surplus
appropriation system put their grain into pits and filled them with water.
And what happened to him? We learn only after many years, just from obituaries in
