Right-Bank Ukraine was one of the regions whose 'path to capitalism' could be categorized as following the Prussian model. The "Inventories Reform" was one of the factors which prepared this 'path'. Before the Reform, serfs in Right-Bank Ukraine were classified according to the number of cattle in their possession. The amount of land allotted to a serf, and the number of days of compulsory labour he was assigned yearly, depended on which category he belonged to. The more cattle, the more land and the greater obligation. In terms of labour days Per one acre of land, however, more land meant a smaller amount of compulsory labour. In other words, although a serf with less land was assigned lighter obligations as a whole, the amount of compulsory labour per one acre of land was actually greater. The Reform was introduced in order to change these circumstances so that serfs with less land would also be assigned less labour. At the same time, however, the Reform could be used by lords as an excuse to expand their demesnes. Often, serfs did not object to reductions in their land allotments, since this also entailed a reduction in their obligations. Thus, as a result of the Reform, portions of the land of some serfs were annexed to the lord's demesne and consequently there was an increase in the number of serfs with little land. Meanwhile, there was a movement on the part of the lords of Right-Bank Ukraine at the time not only to expand their demesnes but also to replace inefficient compulsory labour with employed labour. The "Inventories Reform" can be said to have supported this movement from the legislative side.
