The Development of the Serfdom System and the Emergence of the Kulaks

Journal Title: The journal of international civilization studies - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

Serf is the name given to a peasant who works on behalf of a landlord on the land allocated to him in the Russian Empire. In this system, which is very similar to the slave system, the most important difference between serfs and free peasants was the freedom to migrate; serfs could not permanently leave their land or village without their master's permission. Apart from that, they had to get permission from their masters to marry, change jobs or transfer their property. They were tied to the land, and when the land changed hands, the serfs entered the service of the new master. These peasants had very limited rights before the law compared to their masters. The Russian peasant was at the very center of agricultural policy during the Imperial and Soviet Union periods, starting from Moscow Russia. The serfdom system ended with the liberation of the Russian peasantry after the Land Reform of 1861, but towards the end of the 19th century a new class emerged. Thus, the Russian peasant was one of the most important elements that formed the existence of the kulaks. The relationship between these two classes is important in terms of showing how they can exist in an order.In this research, it was aimed both to reveal the situation of the Russian peasant in the serfdom system that lasted for centuries and to evaluate the emergence of the kulaks in the historical context after the Land Reform.
