hello dear......
Agriculture in the Russian Empire
Agriculture in the Russian Empire throughout the 19th-20th centuries represented a major world force yet it lagged behind other developed countries. Russia was amongst the largest exporters of agricultural produce, especially wheat, while the Free Economic Society made continuing efforts to improve farming techniques.
The Russian peasant (male) was colloquially called krestyanin (Russian: крестьянин), female form of this word is krestyanka plural - krestyane (Some arrogate this meaning to word muzhik, moujik (man), and this word was calqued into Western languages through translations of Russian literature of 19th century, that described Russian rural life of that times, and where really word muzhik were used in meaning of most common rural dweller - peasant, but that was only a narrow contextual meaning of the word. Muzhik is plain traditional word that means just "man" (mature male human), and in more civil language it can mean "plain man". Female equivalent word is baba (Russian: баба).
