Yes, the article does seem a little sketchy: > Even by the standards of 1914, Russia was a backward country. Most of its citizens were serfs, often tied to the land they worked, like serfs in the Middle Ages. Russian serfdom was abolished in 1861, more than 50 years before the start of the First World War. |
