A scarce specialist monograph by Pavel Nikolaevich Zyryanov, a researcher at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, dedicated to the internal life of the Russian peasant commune during the critical period of the Stolypin agrarian reform. According to the publisher's own description on the rear wrapper, this is the first book on the history of the Russian peasant commune to appear in Russia in over eighty years - a pointed editorial claim reflecting the depth of Soviet historiographical neglect of this institution as an autonomous social organism. Five chapters examine the commune in the post-reform period from 1861 to 1906; the commune's relationship to the Stolypin agrarian reform; the commune's land-redistribution function; its agricultural and entrepreneurial activity; and the condition of the peasant "mir" in the years 1907-1914, including internal processes, the sobriety and literacy movement, and the problem of rural youth. Drawing on materials from central and regional archives not previously in scholarly circulation, the study reconstructs the commune's survival strategies, its role in the redistribution of allotment land, meadow, and field strips, and the political and social conflict generated by the Stolypin reform's drive to dissolve communal tenure. The responsible editor, Andrei Matveyevich Anfimov (1916-2009), was one of the foremost Soviet and Russian authorities on Russian agrarian history and the peasantry. Published in a print run of 780 copies in the year of the institute's first full post-Soviet season, the book is a foundational reference for the modern study of the Russian peasant commune and the agrarian history of late Imperial Russia.
