Abstract: 
This paper discusses transition-oriented problems stemming from the persistence and re-emergence of peasant behaviour in agrarian and post-Soviet societies. As such, it clarifies what is meant by peasant behaviour and why this behaviour is distinct from pure profit maximisation. It further suggests the theory of reciprocity as an explanatory approach. The paper illustrates how observations support the hypothesis of the emergence of peasants. Finally, a discussion on policy responses provides hints on how to cope with current problems to assure that transition does not stagnate.
