Abstract
the term “nation” first appeared in the russian language at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, during the time of Peter the Great, and retained its status as a new and borrowed word until the last decades of the 19th century. From its inception, the term possessed many meanings including: the state, its subjects or the nobility. it addition, it was understood to contain an ethnic aspect. this is where a key question concerning the proportions of all these aspects in a particular historical period originates from. the term “peasantness” came into circulation in the 1820s, and was originally, along with the term “people”, one of the variants in translating the term “nation” from French into russian in the discourse of the elite at the time. “Peasantness” had a wide area of application in the years 1830-1860, caused by its inclusion in uvarov’s triad (“Orthodoxy-autocracy-people”), where the term functioned solely as a tool, and not as a translation of the concept-term “nation”. the adventures of the term “nation” continued into the 20th and 21st centuries. the term “nation” suffered strict censure during the soviet period and was viciously fought over during the post-soviet period, which in many aspects is quite similar to the question discussed in the following article.
