Résumé anglais Bulgaria : Land Reform without Peasants In 1991, the Bulgarian government adopted a land act (modified in 1992 and, again, in 1995). This reform aimed at restituting land to the pre-1946 owners and thus implied a return to small holdings. Successive governments have thus sought to « de-communize » the countryside. This study examines how the 1991 act has been applied in the Dobruja region of northeastern Bulgaria. It shows that, contrary to expectations, the members of the formerly communist local elite have managed to profit well from « transition ». They quickly became « big tenant farmer-managers » (arendatori) to whom new owners entrust their land in exchange for a moderate rent.
