Professor Moshe Lewin has done a great service to the study of Russian agrarian history by addressing the question of peasant customary law. Among the many merits of his paper, the rarest is his success in avoiding the numerous pitfalls in this elusive and difficult subject. To be sure, agrarian historians in the West and in the Soviet Union have, explicitly or implicitly, dealt with the subject in recent publications. Nonetheless, apart from a few exceptions,1 Lewin's is the first attempt in many years to present a succinct view of the main elements of the subject and indicate the directions for further inquiry. My comments will follow the same path, for, in the present state of the research, it seems more useful to raise questions and hypotheses than to give imperfect answers on points of detail
