When I say farmers, I mean homesteaders. They were on the frontiers, including the plains.

My Crimean Tatar grandfather was always in cavalary fought in Tajikistan spreading communism also sent to Gulags but his father before him was in cavalary under russian empire. Maternal side my grandfathers great grandparents were land owners and were Whites during the revolution the rest were big Red farmers.
