Peasants in Russia from Serfdom to Stalin
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-12638-1 (ISBN)
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.
Boris B Gorshkov is Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Kennesaw State University, USA. He is the author of Russia’s Factory Children, Society, and the State: Childhood, Apprenticeship and Law, 1800-1917 (2009) and A Life under Russian Serfdom: Memoirs of Savva Dmitrievich Purlevskii, 1800-68 (2005).
