Peasants in Russia from Serfdom to Stalin: Accommodation, Survival, Resistance [Book Review]

Abstract

The Russian peasantry, a popular subject of historical inquiry in the Soviet period, has attracted considerably less attention in recent decades. Boris Gorshkov's new survey of the current scholarship in this field is thus a welcome reminder of the fascination the Russian peasantry elicits and the ways in which it represents the myriad controversies and contradictions thought to characterize the Russian past.
