Rural Russia Under the Old Régime chronicles the centuries-long history of the Russian landlord-peasant world, tracing the systematic exploitation and grinding subjugation that defined rural life from the age of serfdom through to the revolutionary upheaval of 1917. Robinson presents a meticulously researched account of a society stratified by land ownership, custom, and coercion, illuminating how the weight of the old order made revolutionary transformation not just inevitable, but necessary.\n\nRobinson's scholarship is distinguished by its rigorous command of primary sources and its ability to situate agrarian crisis within the broader sweep of Russian imperial decline. Written with the authority of a seasoned historian, the narrative argues compellingly that the Peasant Revolution of 1917 was not a sudden eruption but the culmination of generations of unresolved social tension. A landmark work of Russian historiography, it remains an indispensable lens through which to understand how a world built on forced labour and feudal privilege ultimately consumed itself — and what rose from the ashes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203264127195,"sku":"2026200015954-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9f33ba2e-7406-4d34-809a-e187fd010fc3.png?v=1788146842","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015954-secondhand-rural-russia-under-the-old-regime-a-history-of-the-landlord-peasant-world-and-a-prologue-to-the-peasant-revolution-of-1917","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
