Answer 2

Russian peasants were different from other Euro

pean peasants in another way. They pooled their land

together periodically and their commune divided it

according to the needs of individual families. Russian

peasants were deeply religious. But except in a few

cases they had no respect for the nobility. In Russia,

peasants wanted the land of the nobles to be given to

them. Frequently, they refused to pay rent and even

murdered landlords. In 1902, this occurred on a large

scale in south Russia. And in 1905, such incidents

took place all over Russia.
