The article evaluates the second edition of M. A. Babkin's monograph “The Priesthood and the Kingdom” in the context of numerous reviews of the first edition. Most historians think that the Russian Orthodox Church was an uncomplaining tool in the hands of the state during the synodal period. According to Babkin, the leadership of the Orthodox Church was dissatisfied with its position, was burdened by state control and sought to gain self-governme…

The study draws upon data concerning provincial administrations, which employed a significant portion of officials, and the infantry, in which most of the officer corps served, from the introduction of monetary salaries in 1763 (for officials) and in 1711 (for officers) to 1913. A table of the changes in nominal salaries was compiled from legisl…
The Cognitive Abilities of the Russian Peasantry at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
In Russia of 1917, two-thirds of the male and female peasants age 10 and older had not had systematic schooling and were illiterate; the rest were able to read and do basic arithmetic. Only 0.1% of peasants studied in secondary or higher educational institutions. As a result, 99.9% of all peasants had a particular mode of thinking - concrete, situational, and directly related to sensations and actions. Mastery of the world in practical terms, thr…
The Policy of Russifying in Late Imperial Russia and its Failure
After the Great Reforms of the 1860s – 1870s the Russian government embarked on the construction of a modern nation-state and was faced with the need to unify all parts of the empire administratively, culturally, legally, and socially. The new ethno-confessional policy in Russian historiography is often called Russification because the order established after the Great Reforms in the Great Russian provinces served as a model for the transformatio…
Long-term Trends in the Development of the Family Structure in Christian Russia from the Sixteenth to the Twentieth Centuries
Various forms of family organization among Russian peasants and urban dwellers coexisted from the sixteenth to the beginning of the twentieth centuries. The correlation of family types changed and was a function of circumstances and economic conditions. The available data indicate that from the middle of the sixteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, extended and multiple families predominated among peasants, though the relationsh…

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.

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 Requirements and "Small" Reality
In my view, the skeptical comments of Steven L. Hoch, whether intentionally or not, undeservedly discredit human height data as an indicator of the physiological status and well-being of populations, and possibly represent the historiographical appearance of a postmodern intellectual ideology, whose representatives look with distrust on historical sources. Hoch repeats some traditional objections connected with data on height: 1) terminal height-…
New Approaches to Old Problems
Scholars generally agree on the relationship between the physical stature, or height, of children and adults, and their quality of life, or their biological status, including diet, illnesses, intensity and conditions of work, availability of medical care, living conditions, psychological well-being, climate, water, air, and other environmental factors that have impinged on their lives prior to the point at which their height is measured. Genetic …

El efecto de la educacion sobre el crecimiento economico
El problema de la relación entre educación y crecimiento económico es muy pertinente a la situación socioeconómica actual de la URSS. El pais con el nivel más alto, o al menos uno de los más altos, de educación entre las naciones desarrolladas tiene uno de los más bajos en términos de renta national per capita . ¿Es ello paradójico? Sí, si somos de la opinión de que la renta nacional responde de modo inmediato y directo a la educación profesional…
The Development of Literacy in Russia and the USSR from the Tenth to the Twentieth Centuries
The history of literacy in Russia may be divided into four periods: 1) the Kievan, from the tenth to the thirteenth centuries (before the Mongol invasion); 2) the medieval (Muscovite), from the middle of the thirteenth to the end of the seventeenth centuries; 3) the imperial, from the eighteenth century to 1917; and 4) the Soviet, after 1917. For each of these periods distinctive sources have been preserved that call for special handling and meth…
Le mouvement des prix des céréales en Russie du XVIIIesiècle au début du XXesiècle
Le prix des céréales avait une importance exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de la Russie, pays essentiellement agraire où, au début du XXesiècle, environ 85% de l'ensemble de la population vivait encore à la campagne. La prospérité de millions de gens et la politique économique du gouvernement dépendaient souvent des fluctuations du prix des grains. C'est pourquoi la Russie a été précisément le premier pays d'Europe où fut organisée la collecte mens…
