 The actual process dragged out until the early 1930s, with the average allotted land falling short of the prescribed 6 hectares per eligible individual.The law was notable among Romanian controlled territories as it expropriated land not only from the large landowners, but also from the peasants who gained land by "ad-hoc" divisions of the agricultural lands during the Russian Revolution.The reform was further marred by corruption and preferential allotment to Romanian state functionaries and officers, as well as to the deputies who voted for union with Romania in 1918 (the latter were allotted 50 hectares each).
