Landscape and Settlement in Romanov Russia, 1613 to 1917

This historical geography of Russia since 1631 includes detailed examinations of some of the most significant facets of social and political change which took place during the period of Romanov rule. The authors study the settlement of the Russian "frontier" of the black-earth region, the colonization by Mennonite German settlers in the Eastern Steppe, the rural communes in the 1870's, and the Stolypin Land Reform. This detailed analysis of how men and women subsisted in different places, how they responded to varied environments, and how they were limited by local circumstances enables the reader to grasp the true nature of Romanov Russia.Pallot, Judith is the author of 'Landscape and Settlement in Romanov Russia, 1613 to 1917', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198232469 and ISBN 0198232462.
