The same grabbing <strong>of</strong> rentable land by the well-<strong>to</strong>-do<br />

peasants, those already best provided; the same transfer<br />

<strong>of</strong> allotment land (by leasing) from the poor <strong>to</strong> the affluent<br />

peasantry; the same diminution <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> allotment<br />

land, proceeding in two different directions, at both poles<br />

<strong>of</strong> the countryside. To enable the reader <strong>to</strong> get a more concrete<br />

picture <strong>of</strong> these processes, we give the data on land<br />

renting in greater detail:<br />

In the <strong>to</strong>p groups <strong>of</strong> peasants (who, as we know, concentrate<br />

in their hands most <strong>of</strong> the rented land), land renting is consequently<br />

<strong>of</strong> an obviously industrial, entrepreneur character,<br />

despite the widespread view <strong>to</strong> the contrary <strong>of</strong> the Narodnik<br />

economists.<br />
