serfdom Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom_in_Russia Serfdom became the dominant form of relation between Russian peasants and nobility in the 17th century. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2020-09-24 12:51:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Żródło jak wyżej Slaves and serfs As a whole, serfdom both came and remained in Russia much later than in other European countries. Slavery remained a legally recognized institution in Russia until 1723, when Peter the Great converted the household slaves into house serfs. Russian agricultural slaves were formally converted into serfs earlier in 1679.[10][11] Formal conversion to serf status and the later ban on the sale of serfs without a land did not stop the trade in household slaves; this trade merely changed its name. The private owners of the serfs regarded the law as a mere formality. Instead of "sale of a peasant" the papers would advertise "servant for hire" or similar. |
