Résumé anglais Wladimir Berelowitch, The ancient and the new: the life of the Russian village under the NEP as per Soviet monographs of the time. At the time of the NEP, Soviet villages had been the subject of different monographs bearing on all aspects of rural life, in most cases on the scale of the volost'. These monographs, which combine precise information with personal impressions and comments of peasants, constitute irreplaceable evidence bearing on changes that occurred in the Russian countryside. Utilizing this little-explored source, the author endeavors to establish the constants. The analysis attempts to show that the "ancient" is still very much alive and that the "new" that the research workers endeavor to define is mostly mythical: the differentiation of peasants is very slight, the Soviet institutions are but barely implanted, the political influences practically non-existent, and the Church still present. But against the background of deep social changes (propulsion towards instruction, unsettling of the family...), new elements tend to appear (school of atheism, anti-adult Komsomols...) announcing the revolution of 1929.
