By the end of the XIX century, the peasantry occupied 80% of the population of the entire Russian Empire, which means that most of the inhabitants of modern Russia are their descendants. It is time to learn about the life and traditions of your ancestors! This book is about how Russian peasants lived in the XIX - XX century. About the rich culture, knowledge, traditions, rituals and beliefs of ordinary people. About the everyday life and holidays of those who did not write, but "made" the history of the country. Lubov Shvetsova - author of the popular blog mama.history in the book "Life and traditions of the Russian peasantry" tells in detail about how and what your ancestors lived: "I want to dispel the notions of "grayness" and "wildness" of the Russian peasant. Yes, people of the past lived differently, not as we do today: they did not have as much knowledge and technical capabilities, many did not have even the slightest education. But they had a rich, spiritual, moral culture, which they managed to carry through the millennium. The common people had other knowledge, lived in unity with nature, which they respected and felt. Russian peasants were not savages at all! On the contrary - they were people of wisdom and skill".
