In February 1861 Tsar Alexander II issued the statutes abolishing
the institution of serfdom in Russia. The procedures set in motion
by Alexander II undid the ties that bound together 22 million serfs
and 100,000 noble estate owners, and changed the face of Russia.
Rather than presenting abolition as an 'event' that happened in
February 1861, The Abolition of Serfdom in Russia presents the
reform as a process. It traces the origins of the abolition of
serfdom back to reforms in related areas in 1762 and forward to the
culmination of the process in 1907. Written in an engaging and
accessible manner, the book shows how the reform process linked the
old social, economic and political order of eighteenth-century
Russia with the radical transformations of the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries that culminated in revolution in 1917.
