This book is the first to explore the largely unknown world of
rural crime and justice in post-emancipation Imperial Russia.
Drawing upon previously untapped provincial archives and a wealth
of other neglected primary material, Stephen P. Frank offers a
major reassessment of the interactions between peasantry and the
state in the decades leading up to World War I. Viewing crime and
punishment as contested metaphors about social order, his
revisionist study documents the varied understandings of
criminality and justice that underlay deep conflicts in Russian
society, and it contrasts official and elite representations of
rural criminality - and of peasants - with the realities of
everyday crime at the village level.
