Line 22: {{Eastern Front of Russian Civil War}} '''The''' '''Peasant ~~rebellion~~Rebellion of Sorokino''',{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=92}} officially called '''The''' '''Kulak Rebellion of Sorokino'''{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=107}} by the Soviet authorities, was a popular uprising against the Soviet policy of [[war communism]] in what is today eastern [[Altai Krai]]. After the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic\|Russian SFSR]]'s tax policy had effectively destroyed the economic basis of many peasants, they took up arms in order to force the communist government from their lands in early 1921.{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=94}} Centered in the area east of [[Barnaul]] and north of [[Biysk]],{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=107}} the peasant rebels, around 5,000–10,000 men strong,{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=92}} rallied around the mottos ''"For a clean Soviet power"'' and ''"[[Soviet republic (system of government)\|Soviets]] without communists"''.{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=92}} Supported by [[White movement\|White Army]] veterans,{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|pp=103, 104}} the peasant rebels formed units, elected commanders and began to fight both the [[Red Army]] as well as local pro-government paramilitaries.{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|pp=102, 107}} The exact course of the rebellion is unclear, but the government eventually crushed the uprising,{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=94}} and went on to denounce the rebels as rich [[Kulak]]s and bandits.{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|pp=106, 107}} The history of the Sorokino rebellion eventually regained some importance when [[NKVD Order No. 00447]] was implemented in 1937, as many former rebels were again put on trial and convicted,{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|pp=92, 93}} with those identified as insurgent commanders{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=97}} and former [[White Army]] officers mostly being executed.{{sfnp\|Jusopova\|2010\|p=103}}
