Peregrinations are one <strong>of</strong> the most important fac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

preventing the peasants from “gathering moss,” <strong>of</strong> which more<br />

than enough has been fastened on them by his<strong>to</strong>ry. Unless<br />

the population becomes mobile, it cannot develop, and it<br />

would be naïve <strong>to</strong> imagine that a village school can teach<br />

people what they can learn from an independent acquaintance<br />

with the different relations and orders <strong>of</strong> things in the<br />

South and in the North, in agriculture and in industry, in<br />

the capital and in the backwoods.<br />

<strong>of</strong> employment they can get? (In Taurida Gubernia the wages <strong>of</strong><br />

agricultural workers are higher than in Kherson Gubernia.) Are we<br />

really <strong>to</strong> think that it is obliga<strong>to</strong>ry for the muzhik <strong>to</strong> live and work<br />

where he is registered and “provided with an allotment”?
