the Professor said that 97% of the land was owned by peasants in 1907. My understanding was that Russia came out of serfdom only in the 1860s thus bypassing a fuedal system to direct ownership which created instability. Thus unlike western Europe where around the túrn of the Century they Developed into Fuedalism organically from serfdom and only in the Renaisance went from Fuedalism to private ownership. Comments.
5:00 interesting, I read in "A People's Tragedy" that the Hundreds namesake was also a complement to The White Hundreds, a phrase from feudal times referring to the marshalled nobility.
Great channel. Keep it up.

I wonder what his reasoning is that WW2 wouldn't have occurred with Nicholas II still enthroned and alive...
Can anyone recommend any reading material on the BH?
