Hoch of Washington State University, various facets of the life of Russia's rural population are examined, from banking crises and infectious diseases to peasant rituals and land reform. In contrast to longstanding interpretations of the Russian peasantry, Hoch's work emphasizes the role of social, epidemiological, and ecological forces in the formation of rural Russian society. Using sources infrequently considered by previous scholars, he assesses the impact of the broad economy on shaping the government polices of emancipation and land reform and the long-term consequences of these policies on peasant material well-being.Imperial encounters in Russian history.(DE-601)104152044(DE-588)4077575-6Soziale Situationgnd(DE-601)104527889(DE-588)4248362-1Wirtschaftliche Lagegnd(DE-601)10542708X(DE-588)4167207-0LeibeigenergndSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / GeneralbisacshRussiaSocial conditions1801-1917RussiaEconomic conditions1861-1917RussiaHistory20th centuryRussiaHistory19th centurySoviet UnionSocial conditions20th centurySoviet UnionEconomic conditions20th centurySoziale SituationWirtschaftliche LageLeibeigenerSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General.305.5520947Hoch Steven L.676961Grave Ivan Platonovich1874-1960,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818324103321Essays in Russian social and economic history4089116UNINA
