🇷🇺 **How Extractive Was Russian Serfdom? Income Inequality in Moscow Province in the Early Nineteenth Century**

We compare our results with those for 1904 and find that, in spite of emancipation, inequality remained high during the nineteenth century._"

He died in Tothill Fields Bridwell. https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/joseph-williams-1809-1849/ -
