The article is devoted to the study of the policy of the Nazi occupiers in relation to collective farmers located in the occupied territory of the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov region. The task is to analyze a number of everyday practices of exploiting the labor of rural residents in the territories under consideration. The task will be implemented by reviewing and systematizing archival documents, periodical publications, and scientific papers.
