The peasantry accounted for the large majority of the Russian
population during the Imperialist and Stalinist periods - it is,
for the most part, how people lived. Peasants in Russia from
Serfdom to Stalin provides a comprehensive, realistic examination
of peasant life in Russia during both these eras and the legacy
this left in the post-Soviet era. The book paints a full picture of
peasant involvement in commerce and local political life and,
through Boris Gorshkov's original ecology paradigm for
understanding peasant life, offers new perspectives on the Russian
peasantry under serfdom and the emancipation. Incorporating recent
scholarship, including Russian and non-Russian texts, along with
classic studies, Gorshkov explores the complex interrelationships
between the physical environment, peasant economic and social
practices, culture, state policies and lord-peasant relations. He
goes on to analyze peasant economic activities, including
agriculture and livestock, social activities and the functioning of
peasant social and political institutions within the context of
these interrelationships. Further reading lists, study questions,
tables, maps, primary source extracts and images are also included
to support and enhance the text wherever possible. Peasants in
Russia from Serfdom to Stalin is the crucial survey of a key topic
in modern Russian history for students and scholars alike.
