 The open-field system was the prevalent agricultural system of Russia.
 The strips or selions were cultivated by individuals or peasant families,
often called tenants or serfs.
 The Lord of the Manor, his officials, and a Manorial court administered
the manor and exercised jurisdiction over the peasantry, who only
worked for food, they weren’t paid.
“Open Fields system” or “Russian Peasant
Communes”.

7.  The “MIR” or “Obshchina” (мир) was usually used to denote a local, self-
governing peasant community.
 This system began more or less in 1724.
 In this system the land was given to the community of peasants not to
individual people.
 The village assembly decided what crops to grow, this means that
everything must be done at the same time in the same manner
 This communities had to pay excessive taxes to the goverment.
 It was only in 1906 that the Stolypin reforms began destroying the
“Obshchinas”.
