Abstract
In this article the authors investigate the connection between the agrarian reform and the Greek Catholic Church between 1918 and 1941.
The first part of the article deals with the role of some of the most important Uniates as political leaders in the conduction of the agrarian reform. In the second part the authors present how the agrarian reform was carried out on estates Šid, Pribić, Tkalec, Preseka and Glogovnica, owned by the Diocese of Križevci and the Diocesan Chapter. This paper is based on original archival material pertaining to these estates. The same material allows us to follow the decisions of central state institutions related to the implementation of the agrarian reform and the reactions of interested purchasers on the one hand and the landowning Diocese of Križevci on the other. The authors of this article claim that the Diocese lost possessions during the land reform, which impacted its functioning and prosperity.
