Rural uprisings flared up for months and months after the White Army evacuated from the country. Farmers voted in bulk for Socialist-Revolutionaries, who were Bolsheviks' rivals. Farmers were independed economic players in a system striving to submit every feature of life to state diktat. | |

The "safer professions" probably included some highly skilled technical professions - but only those where you would not be too visible, too popular. Farmers were the harders hit. They weren't allowed to have passports, that's why they tried to use any trick available to become urban dwellers. | |

Produce was forcibly confiscated by the government on the assumption that the farmers must have more hidden somewhere - but this was often the seed for the following year's crop. That of course just made the famine worse because the following year's crop was correspondingly reduced by the farmers being forced to use the following year's seed as winter sustenance. | |
