ЗЕМСКИЕ СТАТИСТИКИ

Conducting a House-to-House Census of Peasant Households by Zemstvo statisticians

The materials of zemstvo statistics are a valuable source on the history of the Russian village in the period after the reform. Zemstvo statisti- cians did a colossal work connected with the study of socioeconomic status of peasant households of the country. The most effective meth- od of acquiring primary statistical data was a total house-to-house census of peasant households which was conducted in zemstvo gubernias in the 80th of the XIXth century. The article deals with the mechanism of its conduction and the results.  

REVIES OF THE MATERIALS OF ZEMSTVO STATISTICS ON THE PAGES OF THE MAGAZINES “VESTNIK YEVROPY” AND “RUSSKOYE BOGATSTVO”

Since the early 1880-s on the pages of periodical magazines there appeared analytical reviews of materials and results of zemstvo statistical work. Their authors were both zemstvo statisticians themselves and economists, agronomists, publicists. A great number of reviews and papers were published by “Vestnik Yevropy” and “Russkoye bogatstvo”. The paper deals with publications dedicated to issues of zemstvo statistics which were published in those magazines.
