The task of this study is to explore the household and family patterns among
Russian peasants in the period following the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. The autor
have chosen to do this by analysing population censuses from 1869 and 1886 for two
villages located in the Moscow area, Drákino and Spás-Korkódino. The main
focus of this study is to examine the effects of the extensive changes in Russian
post-emancipation society on the peasant household.
