About this book

The Economics of the Russian Village is a comprehensive exploration of rural economic life in Russia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing on detailed observations, statistical data, and firsthand accounts, the book delves into the structure and functioning of the Russian peasant commune, or mir, examining its unique system of land tenure, communal decision-making, and the periodic redistribution of land among households. The author investigates the impact of historical reforms, such as the Emancipation of the Serfs in 1861, on village society and the economic well-being of the peasantry. The book provides an in-depth analysis of agricultural practices, productivity, and the challenges faced by Russian peasants, including issues of overpopulation, land scarcity, and the burden of taxes and redemption payments. It discusses the interplay between traditional customs and the pressures of modernization, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of rural communities in the face of social and economic change. Through vivid descriptions and careful analysis, The Economics of the Russian Village sheds light on the daily lives of peasants, their family structures, and the roles of women and children in the rural economy. It also explores the influence of external factors such as government policies, market forces, and technological advancements on village life. The book is an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of rural Russia, offering insights into the causes of poverty, the persistence of communal institutions, and the prospects for reform and development. It remains a significant contribution to the study of Russian history, economics, and society, providing readers with a nuanced portrait of a world on the cusp of transformation.
