You have not had the Soviet government, why there is such devastation?
Years ago, the farms were much smaller. A section of land could have been farmed by three or even four families. As farming changed, a farmer could cultivate more land. Equipment was bigger, things became more mechanized and one person could do more work. People retired from farming, and sold their land to another farmer. He already had a house, so he had no need of the one on the land that he just bought. There was no need to tear it down, so it was just left. No one would live in it because it was not needed. Over time more and more houses were left as farms and equipment got larger and larger. Now a framer can easily cultivate 2-3 sections of land himself.
The newest change that is happening is corporate farms. The family farm is dying out, and these large corporations are doing the work. They hire employees, and cultivate hundreds of sections of land. So one company can replace the labour of perhaps a hundred or more families that used to farm the land 100 years ago and they can often do that with a work force of perhaps 10 people most of whom will live in the closest town rather than on the farm itself.
I suppose it all comes down to economics. Small farms can't compete with the diversity of large corporate farms.
