Savva Purlevskii recollects his life in Russian serfdom and life of his grandparents, parents, and fellow villagers. He describes family and communal life and the serfs' daily interaction with landlords and authorities. Purlevskii came from an initially prosperous family that later became impoverished. Early in his childhood, he lost his father. Purlevskii did not have a chance to gain a formal education. He lived under serfdom until 1831 when at the age of 30 he escaped his servitude.Gorshkov's introduction provides some basic knowledge about Russian serfdom and draws upon the most recent scholarship. Notes provide references and general information about events, places and people mentioned in the memoirs.SerfsRussiaBiographySerfdomRussiaHistory19th centuryRussiaRural conditionsSerfsSerfdomHistory306.3/65/092BPurlevskii Savva Dmitrievich1800-1868.900970Gorshkov Boris B900971MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144870103321A life under Russian serfdom2013727UNINA
