LANDOWNER MANORS OF THE TAMBOV PROVINCE: SOCIAL CONFLICTS AND WAYS OF LEVELING OF THREATS
In article authors analyzed the problem of relationship of landowners and peasants. Authors put the main emphasis on studying of the Orlov-Davydov's New and Pokrovsk estate in the Tambov province. This article showed that with cancellation of serfdom the daily rhythm of country life, was under construction on the economic and labor beginnings. Economy in this regard interested peasants as a source of additional earnings and rent. However, as showed a narrative of sources, in consciousness of the post-reform peasantry it was hardly possible to recognize a similar order lawful. The most progressive contemporaries noted mistrustful, literally the hostile attitude towards landowners, never-dying hearings about the future redistribution of land. From the authors' point of view this also resulted in led to intensity in relations with the peasantry during the post-reform period. Authors made the assumption of folding of system of social patronage as a way to level social threats on the basis of material on the New and Pokrovsk estate. Data on New Pokrovsk estate showed that the help to the neighboring population had pragmatically implication and led to leveling of social tension. The land owner was interested in the stable social environment around an arrangement of the economy. This caused advantage of creation and maintenance of sufficient welfare of the ordinary population. So, probably, lack of serious attacks of peasants on the New and Pokrovsk estate during revolts of 1905 isn't so casual. And, practically always managing directors of manors issued loans under works that, certainly, mattered for performance of economic tasks, and also cut down off-budget expenses on support of the starving.
