'Cahiers du Monde Russe’ Academic Journal Publishes Paper by Igor Khristoforov

Respected French interdisciplinary academic journal on Russian history Cahiers du Monde Russe has published a paper entitled ‘Blurred lines: Land surveying and the creation of land property in Russia in the nineteenth century’ by Igor Khristoforov, Leading Research Fellow at the Centre for Source Studies.

The paper analyzes the problem of establishing land property borders in 19th-century Russia and looks at how members of educated elites (such as landlords and officials) interact with the peasantry. It also studies the image of the surveyor in both the bureaucratic discourse and public attitude, including representations in fiction.
