In D. Lieven, The Aristocracy in Europe 1815-1914 (London: Macmillan, 1992), pp. 4950, I have tables listing the names of owners of over 50,000 desiatiny: these are derived from L. P. Minarik, Ekonomicheskaia kharakteristika krupneishikh sobstvennikovRossii kontsa XIX-nachala XX vek (Moscow: Nauka, 1971).
On the official and military top elite, see D. Lieven, Russia's Rulers under the Old Regime (London: Yale University Press, 1989). On the senior bureaucracy as a whole, see D. Lieven, 'The Russian Civil Service under Nicholas II: Some Variations on the Bureaucratic Theme', JfGO 29, 3 (1981): 366-403. Much of this chapter is derived from my three publications cited in notes 2 and 3.
Between 1701 and 1763 most bishops were Ukrainian, many ofwhom claimed to be Polish nobles: I am grateful to Paul Bushkovitch for this information.
E. P. Karnovich, Zamechatel'nye bogatstva chastnikh lits v Rossii (St Petersburg: Izd. A. S. Suvorov 1885): e.g. p. 18: 'almost all the wealth, originally created in our country in the sphere of commercial and industrial activity became noble wealth'.
My comparisons with English (and German) aristocracy are drawn from Lieven, Aristocracy.
On Peter and Catherine's legislation, see respectively: S. M. Troitskii, Russkii absoliutizm i dvorianstvo (Moscow: Nauka, 1974) and I. de Madariaga, Russia in the Age of Catherine the Great (London: Weidenfeld; 1981).

Becker, Nobility and Privilege in Late Imperial Russia (DeKalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 1985), p. 188, where he states that 38-9 per cent of nobles belonged to land-owning families in 1905.

On this, apart from Lieven, Russia's Rulers, see G. S. Chubardin, Staraia gvardiia (Orel: Izd. Veshnie vody, 2002).
On the very important issue of the integration of Ukrainian elites, see Z. Kohut, Russian Centralism and Ukrainian Autonomy (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1988) and D. Saunders, The Ukrainian Impact on Russian Culture 1750-1850 (Edmonton: CIUS, 1988).
For example, 'scarcely any (Baits i.e. my addition) have acquired their fortunes in Russia. It would be easy to enumerate those who, like the Lievens and Pahlens, owe a part of them to the munificence of the tsars': A. von Haxthausen, The Russian Empire: Its People, Institutions andResources, trans. R. Faire, 2 vols. (London: Frank Cass, 1968): here vol. II, p. 199. One branch of the Lievens, for example, held its main estates in Courland and Livonia but also owned land in Russia and possessed Yuzovka, the core of the Ukrainian mining industry.
The whole discussion of the bureaucratic elite is derived from Lieven, Russia's Rulers.
The classic work on the noble origins of the Russian intelligentsia remains M. Raeff, Origins of the Russian Intelligentsia (New York: Harcourt, Brace, 1966). See also chapter 1 of N. Marasinova, Psikhologiiaelityrossiiskogo dvorianstvaposlednei tret'i XVIIIveka (Moscow: Rosspen, 1999).
As regards Russian and Ottoman elites and the contextsin which they operated, for example, compare Potemkin (see S. Sebag Montefiore, Prince of Princes. The Life ofPotemkin (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2000)) and Ali Pasha of Ioannina (see K. E. Fleming, The Muslim Bonaparte. Diplomacy and Orientalism in Ali Pasha's Greece (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999)). On the politics of dynasty and court, L. P. Pierce, The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993). For general background see R. Mantran (ed.), Histoire de l'Empire Ottoman (Paris: Fayard, 1989).
In general on the early Ching, see W J. Peterson (ed.), The Cambridge History of China, Vol. IX, Part I: The Ching Dynasty to 1800 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002). Specifically on court and ruling elite, see: E. S. Rawski, The Last Emperors: A Social History of Qing Imperial Institutions (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998) and B. Bartlett, Monarchs and Ministers: The Grand Council in mid Ch'ing China 1723-1820 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1991). I made an amateur effort to compare the three imperial regimes in D. Lieven, Empire: The Russian Empire and its Rivals (London: John Murray 2000).
R. E. Jones, The Emancipation of the Russian Nobility 1762-1785 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1973) is the best introduction to this.
S. V Mironenko, Samoderzhavie i reformy. Politicheskaia bor'ba v Rossii v nachale XIXv. (Moscow: Nauka, 1989) is realistic on Alexander's aspirations and some ofthe constraints under which he operated. So is Alexander Martin: see his 'The Russian Empire and the Napoleonic Wars', in P. G. Dwyer (ed.), Napoleon and Europe (London: Longman, 2001), pp. 243-63.

With reference to the eighteenth century 'absolutism' means not the 'absolute' power of a centralised state but a set of political institutions and relationships presided over by a monarch whose authority was assumed to be God-given and hence absolute. As the elected of God, the monarch presided over the implementation of God's laws in order to protect the people over whom he or she exercised sovereignty Failure to live up to this obligation violated God's trust and already in the Middle Ages could be grounds for removal of the monarch. On these issues, see James Collins, The State in Early Modern France (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995); J. W.

Complaints of a surfeit appeared as early as a report from Riazan in 1826 (Fond 796, op. 107, g. 1826, d. 460, ll. 87-88 ob.); by mid-century, they were ubiquitous. For example, in 1850 the bishop of Tula reported that 672 students had left diocesan schools (251 graduates; 421 with incomplete education), but that the diocese had no new openings (RGIA, Fond796, op. 132, g. 1851, d. 2357, ll. 191 ob-192).
In rare cases, the clergy derived income from other sources - such as a stipend (ruga) from alocal magnate, salary from an institutional chapel, rental income from real estate, and the like.
For a typical application, which still required Synodal approval, see 1872 files from Riazan and Suzdal in RGIA, Fond 796, f. 153, g. 1872, dd. 601 and 707.
Derzhavnyi arkhiv Zhitomirskoi oblasti, f.f-i, op. 30, d. 423, l. 31 (dean's report from
i902).
For measures in 1886 to improve church singing, see RGIA, Fond 797, op. 56, otd. 2, st. 3, d. 11).
For a typical file, which involves the establishment of a society of banner-bearers (kho- rugvenostsy) in Vladimir in 1903 (with the charter specifying the duties to ensure good order during processions and in the church itself), see Gos. arkhiv Vladimirskoi oblasti, Fond 556, op. 1, d. 4366.
Measuring'piety' is, at best, a perilous undertaking; data on confession and communion do, however, provide hard numbers on rates ofreligious practice and the laity's fervour or, at least, desire to uphold tradition or willingness to conform.
The data include a large number who missed confession and communion because they were too young (under age seven); these have been omitted from the calculations here.

For a classic statement, see the discussion of the 'fifth commandment' (and its extrapolation to masters and slaves, husbands and wives in the 'Short Catechism' (Sokrashchennyi katekhizis) appended to the three-volume Synodal collection of sermons distributed to clergy throughout the empire: Gavriil and Platon, Sobranie raznykh poucheneniia, vol. III, folio 147-47 verso.
For a discussion of the clerical attitudes and role with respect to serfdom, see G. L. Freeze, 'The Orthodox Church and Serfdom in Pre-Reform Russia', SR 48 (1989): 361-87.
See, for example, the work of a prelate later canonised: Tikhon (Zadonskii), Nastavlenie o sobstvennykh vsiakogo khristianina dolzhnostiakh (St Petersburg: Sinodal'naia tip., 1789), pp. 10-12. By 1870, this work had been reprinted forty-eight times.
For the large complex of files on clerical involvement in the Pugachev rebellion, see the 'secret section' of the Synodal archive (RGIA, Fond 796, op. 205, dd. 76-99); for a Soviet summary of these files, see I.

For a typical statement, praising the parish clergy for 'endeavoring to give [the peasants] agricultural instruction' and encouraging 'the simple people, in case of dangerous diseases, to seek the assistance of doctors' (and eschew the traditional fatalism), see the 1851 annual report by the bishop of Riazan in RGIA, Fond 796, op. 132, g. 1851, d. 2363, l. 200.

Over time, the right to control property was extended to women of the merchant and urban estates. Among the peasantry customary law also protected women's dowries.
