Beginning 1904 wrote a number of works on economics and organisation of peasant farming, agric distr, agric cooperation, credits and marketing relations of peasant farming based on so-called labor and consumer theory of agric economics.
According to this theory, leading element in evolution and organisation of agric farming is the family and "each combination of the needs of a farming family and its labor resources calculated per unit of arable land corresponds to a certain structure, size and state of agric productive branches, id est (that is), a certain type of farm organisation”.

Essence of this theory, advocated from 1928 to 1930, was proposal to reorganize policy of prices, credit and processing of agric produce so as to favor and stimulate development of individual farming. Opposed All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) general policy of industrialization and socialist reorganization of agriculture 1928-1930 repeatedly attacked establishment of sovkhozes (state farms), demonstrating their unprofitability, and objected to support rendered to kolkhozes.
