Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an evocative insight into the lives of the Russian landed gentry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Focusing on the country estates of the nobility and their surrounding villages, the author provides an intimate perspective into the structure of traditional Russian rural society. The author reveals the daily life of Russian nobles, their family structure, economic concerns, and their relationships with the peasantry. The book also explores the rich cultural traditions and social hierarchies within these traditional communities, and the impact of agricultural serfdom on both the gentry and peasant classes. The author demonstrates that the lives of the Russian landed gentry can only be truly understood by considering the broader context of Russian village life. By shedding light on this unique social system, the book contributes to our understanding of the complex history and cultural dynamics of rural Russia.
