For the Common Good and Their Own Well-Being
Yanni Kotsonis. States of Obligation
To Yanni Kotsonis, the fiscal order of late imperial Russia and the early Soviet state served not only to raise revenue, but also to provide the state with a fundamental understanding of the nature of the economy, imbue the people with a sense of obligation, and turn them into citizens: “modern citizenship began in the fiscal realm of obligation rather than in electoral politics and government by consent” (14). The gradual movement away from taxe…
Did Russia's Emancipated Serfs Really Pay Too Much for Too Little Land? Statistical Anomalies and Long-Tailed Distributions
According to the widely accepted view, under the terms of emancipation and land reform, Russian peasants received inadequate allotments of land for which they had to pay a disproportionately high purchase price. The data used to support the standard interpretation and the statistical methods underlying it are seriously flawed, however. Steven L. Hoch provides a detailed critique of these data and the methods of analysis, and he concludes that the…
B. N. Mironov and His “Demographic Processes and Problems
A forum on Boris Mironov's Russian and English editions of The Social History of Imperial Russia, 1700-1917 (2000) offers the comments of four scholars on different aspects of Mironov's work. David L. Ransel introduces the forum with a consideration of whether Russian and western historical scholarship has been or should be converging, and he reviews the Russian-language response to Mironov's book. William G. Wagner discusses Mironov's key conclu…
Tall Tales
From the soles of his feet to the roots of his hair, Paul Bunyan split the atmosphere exacdy 12 feet 11 inches. His weight, he told me-and I don't doubt his word for a moment-was 888 pounds." Together with precise measures of Paul Bunyan's hips, waist, shoulders, thighs, calves, and reach, subsequently detailed, we would, it seems, have a rather comprehensive anthropometric description of this legendary logger. But his companion, Babe the Blue Ox…
Famine, Disease, and Mortality Patterns in the Parish of Borshevka, Russia, 1830-1912
Scholars have projected a dismal image of nineteenth-century, rural Russia as a society repeatedly punctuated by crop failures, famine, starvation, and epidemics of famine-related diseases. But there has been no rigorous attempt, using appropriate methods, to assess the nature of demographic crises in Russia and their contribution to overall mortality and population growth. The pattern of mortality evident in the parish under examination is disti…
On Good Numbers and Bad
Historians have not been at their finest in attempting to measure standard of living, and late imperial rural Russia is no exception. Given the absence of reliable measures for personal or household income or even of real wage trends-the most common proxy for the standard of living-scholars have been forced to employ a variety of other surrogates, often with unfortunate results. For Russia, recourse has been made to peasant tax arrears, mass cons…

Serfdom and Social Control in Russia
The Serf Population in Russia according to the 10th National Census
Serfs in Imperial Russia
The demographic characteristics of an estate population in Czarist Russia are examined using data from the private papers of the Gagarin family. The papers concern the Petrovskoe estate which had approximately 3500 peasant workers and was located in Borisoglebskii uezd Tambov guberniia. Data are included on age sex marital status and labor obligations of each individual. (ANNOTATION)
The Tax Censuses and the Decline of the Serf Population in Imperial Russia, 1833-1858
The demographic development of the serf population in imperial Russia, particularly its rate of natural growth during the thirty years preceding the emancipation in 1861, has been the subject of considerable controversy. On the basis of data from the tax censuses (revizii), abolitionists sontended that the serf population was dying out, implying that the death rate consistently exceeded the birth rate. Many Soviet historians and demographers have…
