Fixed vows, fluid times: Partner selection in rural Estonia, 1834‒1917
In contrast to much of Europe, the first stages of modernization in rural Estonia did not bring an ‘opening’ of the marriage market. This article uses micro-level data from two parishes in southern Estonia, Helme and Paistu, to examine partner selection in rural Estonian society during the post-emancipation period (1834–1917). The study focuses on three characteristics: social origin, age, and place of birth. Contrary to trends in western and nor…
Illegitimacy and Its Effects on Marriage Prospects in Nineteenth‐century and Early Twentieth‐century Rural Estonia
Using narrative sources and parish registers to assess the effects of illegitimacy on the life chances of the mothers and children, this article demonstrates how, in nineteenth‐century rural Estonia, illegitimacy was stigmatised and reduced the marriage prospects of both single mothers and their daughters. In the period of socio‐economic modernisation from the late 1860s to the 1910s, marriage opportunities considerably improved but local differe…
The fertility response to price changes in a manorial society: The case of rural Estonia, 1834–1884
Vestiges of famine: Long-term mortality impacts of early-life exposure to the 1840s famine in Estonia
Prospering despite the adverse terms of emancipation? Accumulation of wealth by peasant farmers in the tsarist Russian province of Livonia, 1853–1913
The article addresses the issue of wealth accumulation by peasant farmers in the post-emancipation era in the Russian Baltic province of Livonia. The Baltic emancipation schemes stand out as the least beneficial for peasants as they set neither time limits nor land price levels, and the state government did not provide any credit to the purchasers of farms. However, in northern Livonia the nominal value of peasant farmers’ wealth grew as much as …
Predictors of Sexual Harassment Using Classification and Regression Tree Analyses and Hurdle Models: A Direct Replication
Sexual harassment affects a large percentage of higher education students in the US. A previous study identified several risk factors for sexual harassment using hurdle models and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses. The purpose of the present study was to assess the robustness of these findings by replicating the analyses with a new sample of students. Secondary data analysis was conducted using data from 9,552 students from two- …
Social inequalities in famine mortality in the manorial system of the tsarist Russian province of Livland in the mid-1840s
By relying on longitudinal data on two rural parishes in the Russian Baltic province of Livland, the article analyses two questions concerning famine's short-run effects on mortality in a manorial system: (1) whether there is evidence of a social gradient in mortality during the famine of 1844-6 and (2) whether the manors could protect the peasants against the hardships. The analysis reveals that neither the status of a farmer peasant nor the lan…
Aging Without Children in Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Rural Estonia
This article explores living arrangements and both informal and formal support for the elderly who had no surviving children in the Russian Baltic province of Livland from 1850 to 1905. The article examines with whom the elderly who had no spouse and descendants to rely on lived out their twilight years; whether there were differences between the farmers and farm laborers; the role of poor relief, and whether adoption served well to ensure upkeep…
Külahoorad folkloori ja kohtumaterjalide peeglis
Kuigi folklooris käsitletakse seksi ja pornograafiaga seotud teemasid, pole olnud sellest kombeks kõnelda ega vastavaid allikaid publitseerida või uurida. Nii on osa pärimusest kogujate ja uurijate fookusest välja jäänud näiteks liigse vulgaarsuse ja vägivaldsuse pärast (Kalkun, Sarv 2014; Kalkun 2016). Kuna folkloristika sündis rahvuslikust ideoloogiast kantud distsipliinina, siis on folkloorist püütud otsida pigem kaunist ja [...]
Short-term economic stress and mortality differentials in rural Estonia, 1834–1884
This study examines the influence of short-term economic stress on mortality in nineteenth-century rural Estonia. We utilised vital registration, ‘soul revisions’ and listings of migrants from 1834 to 1884 to focus on two parishes in the northern part of Livland (now southern Estonia). In this period, rural areas were transitioning from the old manorial system to a more market-oriented society, and we hypothesise that some groups were more vulner…
The effect of parental loss on child survival in nineteenth century rural Estonia
This article explores the impact of parental loss and subsequent remarriage on child survival in the nineteenth century, by drawing on the example of post-emancipation rural Estonia. We utilize a novel, individual-level longitudinal dataset combining data from parish registers, poll-tax lists and migrant listings from 1826 to 1891, to examine: (1) how parental loss effects were differentiated by the gender of the parent; (2) if the loss of parent…
Identifying Correlates of Peer and Faculty/Staff Sexual Harassment in US Students
Sexual harassment and its negative consequences continue to affect a large percentage of higher education students in the US. Previous research has identified a limited number of harassment risk factors, and has generally not examined them in combination. In this study, an expanded set of individual, relationship, and community-level risk factors were examined using hurdle models and classification and regression tree (CART) analyses to identify …
A not so undesirable status? Widowhood options and widows’ living conditions in post-emancipation rural Estonia
Widowhood has been a strongly gendered experience, and elderly widows, in particular, have traditionally been seen as one of the most vulnerable groups in society. This article observes remarriage behaviour and widows’ living conditions in the Russian Baltic province of Livland in the post-emancipation era. Detailed findings are presented for one community in the parish of Paistu and two communities in the parish of Helme. The article combines cr…
How permanent were farms in the manorial system? Changes of farm occupancy in the nineteenth-century Russian Baltic Provinces of Estland and Livland
This article addresses how long tenant farmers in the Russian Baltic Provinces of Estland and Livland managed to occupy the farms and whether they transferred them within the family in the early phase of agricultural transformation (1841–1889). It contributes to the long-standing debate over the relative power of manorial lords and tenants in the (East Elbian) manorial system. Looking at individual-level data on the changes in tenantship on more …
Bitter Fruits of “A Merry Life?” Survival Chances of Children Born Out of Wedlock in Nineteenth-century Rural Estonia
The article explores the survival chances of children born out of wedlock in the Russian Baltic province of Livland from 1834 to 1891 and is based on court records as well as individual-level vital events data. The absence of a consistent mortality penalty for illegitimate infants and the considerable proportion of single mothers who went on to marry point to the lack of a strong social stigma. Other indicators, such as rates of stillbirths and e…

Käimasolev haldusreform on taas tõstatanud sõna mulk päritolu teema. Piiridega seonduva kõrval kütab kirgi küsimus, kas Lõuna-Viljandimaale loodavale vallale sobib nimeks Mulgi, mis meie naaberrahva keeles viitab tähendusele ’loll’. Meie viimastes ilmunud keelekogudes – „Eesti etümoloogia sõnaraamatus” (2012) ja „Eesti kohanimeraamatus” (2016) – on tõepoolest kinnistunud arusaam, et sõna mulk ja piirkonnanimi Mulgimaa tuleb lätikeelsest [...]

Feeding the Landless in Post-Emancipation Livland during Times of Famine (1840s–1860s)
The article discusses how social frictions within the Livonian peasantry manifested themselves in times of hunger and how the authorities sought to combat the situation in the 1840s and late 1860s. After the emancipation reforms of 1816–19, provision for the peasantry was left solely to communal and public institutions. When reserves became scarce, community authorities were able to seek a loan from the manor (in the 1840s) or apply for a state a…
The Impact of the Baltic Emancipation Reforms on Peasant-Landlord Relations: A Historiographical Survey
The aim of the article is to introduce the main lines of argument and interpretation in studies of the Baltic Emancipation Reforms of 1816, 1817 and 1819, identifying common paradigms and setting an agenda for future research. First, we need to use archival evidence to investigate whether the first decades of freedom in all three Baltic provinces, where similar laws were implemented, actually impoverished the peasantry. Second, we must ask what l…

Kiselev'S Reforms Of State Peasants: The Baltic Perspective
This article attempts to estimate how far-reaching and successful the Kiselev reforms of state peasants in the Baltic Provinces of Russia were. It also challenges the view deeply entrenched in Baltic scholarly literature that it was the local provincial Diets and not the imperial authorities that initiated many of the so-called peasant emancipation reforms in the Baltics. The article argues that it was in fact tsarist government legislation that …

Health Care Reform and Young Adults' Access to Sexual Health Care: An Exploration of Potential Confidentiality Implications of the Affordable Care Act
One provision of the 2010 Affordable Care Act is extension of dependent coverage for young adults aged up to 26 years on their parent’s private insurance plan. This change, meant to increase insurance coverage for young adults, might yield unintended consequences. Confidentiality concerns may be triggered by coverage through parental insurance, particularly regarding sexual health. The existing literature and our original research suggest that ac…
