Question

How did the russian peasents differnt from th french peasents ??

Answer 1

In France, during the French Revolution in Brittany, peasants respected and fought for the landowners, but in Russia peasantswanted the land of the nobles to be given to them. They refused to pay rent and even murdered landlords. Russian peasants were different from European peasants in another way.

Answer 2

Peasants had no respect for nobility, very unlike the French peasant. Russian peasants were the only peasant community which pooled their land and their commune divided it. As land was divided among peasants periodically and it was felt that peasants and not workers would be the main source of the revolution.
