This book is a comprehensive reconstruction of the successful attempt by rural professionals in late imperial Russia to engage peasants in a common public sphere. Covers a range of aspects, from personal income and the dynamics of the job market to ideological conflicts and psychological transformation. Based on hundreds of individual life stories.

'Ilya Gerasimov's study of agricultural modernizers in early twentieth century Russia gently smashes long-standing historical conventions. Russians into Peasants reveals the goals and careers of young activists who, between the disappointing 1905 revolution and the collapse of 1917, turned away from extremist, anti-state politics and worked with rural people to create a progressive and productive agrarian society. This is history with a human touch; Gerasimov cares about salaries and housing, as well as tractors. His fresh, independent perspective normalizes both professionals and peasants, and brings to life a forgotten generation of people who thought they could improve their society without overthrowing or occupying the state. Based on rich and unusually diverse materials agronomists' journals, provincial newspapers, the trans-Siberian train car devoted to increasing migrants' agricultural productivity, short courses and film shows addressed to the rural public Gerasimov's innovative book should change the way we look at Russian society, before 1917 and after.'

Russian Peasants Go to Court brings into focus the legal practice of Russian peasants in the township courts of the Russian empire from 1905 through 1917. Contrary to prevailing conceptions of peasants as backward, drunken, and ignorant, and as mistrustful of the state, Jane Burbank’s study of court records reveals engaged rural citizens who valued order in their communities and made use of state courts to seek justice and to enforce and protect order. Through narrative studies of individual cases and statistical analysis of a large body of court records, Burbank demonstrates that Russian peasants made effective use of legal opportunities to settle disputes over economic resources, to assert personal dignity, and to address the bane of small crimes in their communities. The text is enhanced by contemporary photographs and lively accounts of individual court cases.

Главная тема провокативно озаглавленной книги профессора Нью-Йоркского университета Янни Коцониса - взаимодействие между распространенными в образованном обществе способами мышления о крестьянахи практикой реформирования деревни в пререволюционной России. На примере сельскохозяйственных кооперативов автор доказывает, что постулат о крестьянской отсталости, подопечности и неправоспособности не только был основой цивилизаторской самоиднтификации специалистов-аграрников, но и внедрялся в сознание самих крестьян, воплощаясь в новых учреждениях и порядках, призванных, по задумке, модернизировать жизнь и быт деревни. Сословная ментальность, представления о социальной структуре, дискуссии о земельной собственности и кредите, программа и ход столыпинской реформы - эти и другие сюжеты рассматриваются в контексте культурной дискриминации крестьян некрестьянами. Приглашая российского читателя к спору, книга демонстрирует плодотворность союза аграрной историографии с методами дискурсионного анализа.

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.

The essays in this collection explore the social "construction" of the Russian peasantry in the period between Emancipation and Collectivization, and the impact of these constructions on Tsarist and Bolshevik agrarian policy. The international group of authors represent different currents in the historical, sociological and geographical investigations of the East European peasantry and draw upon both the insights of cultural studies and recently available archival materials to throw new light on the relationship between peasantry and other classes. In the first section the way in which different social classes understood the peasantry is discussed in relation to religion and the Orthodox Church, peasant handicraft production and other forms of labor, agrarian development and migration. The second section is devoted to the formulation and execution of agrarian policies.
