OverviewBill Shinn documents the rise and fall over the course of the past century of one of the last legal relics of Russian rural history--the peasant household. And along the way, he furnishes us with a vast store of information (much of it previously unpublished) relating to the shifting fortunes of the private plot. . . . It is a solidly documented scholarship, some rare portions of which are bound to spark controversy. It is clearly essential reading for all who have an interest in Soviet peasant affairs. Frank A.
