Аннотация:This article addresses the system of state-organized and state-controlled
tributary labour in the Russian Empire in the eighteenth century. On the basis of
the taxpayers’ registry of 1795, it focuses on the social groups obliged to perform
military service or labour directly for the polity. They included the numerous
“service class” of the southern and eastern frontier regions, including Russian,
Ukrainian (mainly Cossack), and indigenous (Bashkir and Kalmyk) communities,
and the group of pripisnye, peasants “bound” to industries and shipyards to work for
their taxes. The rationale behind the use of this type of labour relation was, on the one
hand, the need of the state to secure the support of labour in distant and poorly
populated regions, and, on the other, that the communes of labourers saw performing
work for the state as a strong guarantee of their landowning privileges.
