Summary/Abstract: Published in 1884 by Duncker & Humblot Publishing House in Leipzig, // Editorial remark by the Author: „This study was already published in the years 1880 and 1881 in the Baltic Monthly (vols. XXVII and XXVIII) under the title “The emergence and abolition of serfdom in Russia”. The work now appears with references to sources and has been supplemented and completed throughout and can therefore be viewed as an improved and enlarged edition. The first pages have been completely reworked based on new research; otherwise the opinion has remained unchanged. Larger additions relate to the property situation in the north of Russia after the collapse of Novgorod independence, to the position of the code of 1649 and the so-called Great Commission of Catherine II on serfdom. Newly added is Chapter IX.
