The author explores how the peasantry left villages to exploit new earning opportunities in Russian centers, mostly in Moscow and St. Petersburg. His objective is to provide a recontextualization of Russian peasant labor migration, a restoration of village social relations as the ground for understanding and interpreting peasant experience outside the village. The author views the influence of peasantry on the life in cities and discovers the consequences of the peasantry living in cities.
