The article concerns Anna Engelking’s 2012 anthropological study of contemporary Belarusian kolkhozniks’ collective identity. It traces the emergence of values, norms, and dichotomies constructive for that identity - “peasant” versus “lord,” “peasant” versus “Jew,” “Christian” versus “Jew,” and “Polish” versus “Russian” – the oppositions that have further determined the kolkhozniks’ self-definition as Simple and hard-working Christian muzhiks.
