| Research Abstract |
In the present research the agrarian history in the Ukrainian provinces(South-western and Little Russian regions) of Imperial Russia in the 19th century was examined with a special reference to family history and historical demography and on a basis of historical materials and sources collected in RGIA(the Russian State Historical Archives) in Saint-Petersburg, TsDIAU(the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukraine) in Kiev etc. These materials include (1)inventories of some villages in the early 19th century, (2)aggregated official statistical data of the Russian government, state commissions and committees, and (3)documents on the government's policy on the peasantry, in particular legislative documents on inheritance of peasant small land in late imperial Russia.
The research gave us a series of basic data on the peasant family in the Ukrainian provinces, characterized as the eastern periphery of the 'Ost-Elbe' inside the Russian Empire. It also made it clear that the Ukrainian people as well as the Russians had experienced 'agrarian involution'(the term given by Clifford Geertz), and an acute problem of land shortage or 'agrarian over-population' by the early 20^<th> century, and that the political leaders, who after their longtime struggle came to recognize 'familial property' of the peasantry as economically harmful, sought to impose a ban on 'inheritance division' of peasant small land by means of legislation by the State Council and later the parliament.
