The Land Question in the Peasant Life of Russia in the XIX Century
2024
Fursov, Vladimir
In the first half of the XIX century Russia was still an agrarian country. The main mass of the population was made up of peasants, most of whom belonged to landlords and were under serfdom. In solving the peasant question Russia lagged far behind other European countries. The personal dependence of peasants on landlords and, consequently, their disinterest in the results of labor made agriculture less efficient. The urgent need to change the existing situation became obvious already in the second half of the XVIII century. At the beginning of the XIX-th century, the government tried to cover up the most socially reprehensible forms of serfdom. Thus, it was forbidden to print advertisements in newspapers about the sale of serfs.
