"Peasant Everyday Life in the Russian Empire in the XIX Century"

Novikova, Elena Viktorovna

Abstract

The article examines the daily life of peasants in the XIX century. It is shown that the peasantry made up about 9/10 of the productive population of Russia. There were noticeable changes in the social and legal status of the peasants during this period. The nature of their relations with the nobles and the state changed, the relations within the peasantry itself underwent changes. The economic differentiation of various categories of peasants intensified. Special attention in the article is paid to the peasant economy. Peasant farming increasingly lost its natural character and strengthened ties with the market. Important indicators of the penetration of bourgeois relations into agriculture were the purchase and lease of land, the use of wage labor. Wage labor was widely used in the southern steppe provinces, in the Volga region and the Baltic States.

Keywords: life, peasants, population, Russia, order.
