Abstract

The article is devoted to the legal status of peasants before and after the abolition of serfdom. The Legislation related to the process of enslavement is put under analysis. The concept of serfdom is defined in the article. The view that the legislation on legal serfdom of peasants was contradictory is being argued. Recognizing them a number of rights, the law treated them at the same time as an object of property rights. The rights and responsibilities of
landowners in relation to the serfs according to the Legal Code of the Russian Empire are characterized in the article. Personal, property and procedural rights, the right to self–governance, the duties of peasants according to the Status dated February 19, 1861 have been also analyzed. The legal status of temporary obligated peasants and peasants proprietors has been compared.
