The Bar – of the society formed of groups with rights and duties prescribed by law and which become inherited. A class structure of a society implies that people depend on their belonging to a particular class. This dependence involves a range of responsibilities, communication, norms of behavior and even clothing. The transition in the vertical direction is impossible: people are born and die in the same rank belonging to his ancestors. The same title is passed and future generations.

Clergy

The Estate of the clergy was divided into black (monasticism) and white (his representatives could have a family). All the class consisted of approximately one million people.

In 1589, the Russian Church became Autocephalous, i.e. independent of the others. Its first Patriarch was job. The choice belonged to the Cathedral Church, but in fact, the candidacy was determined by the king.

In the XVII century in the Russian Orthodox Church had 12 bishops. Bishops were chosen by lottery. They had their courts, servants, archers. The bishops paid the rent, the amount of which was determined by the wealth of the parish. The most secure at the time was considered the Novgorod diocese.

In this time period in Russia there were about 500 monasteries. Some of them were famous due to the miraculous icons and Holy men. These include the Holy Trinity, miracles, Sergiev, Novodevichy. They often fulfilled a political role, becoming centers of opposition to foreign invaders. Due to large land holdings, many monasteries were the economic centers.

If we consider the caste structure of society of the 17th century, among the white clergy, were allocated the following groups:

  1. Deacons. They were priests of lower rank.
  2. The Priests-the Ministers of the churches of higher rank.
  3. Protopopov. They were the abbots of the temples. Nowadays, they correspond to the Archpriest.

So, we have considered the privileged group of people in Class structure of society. Traditional society That time included and dependent population.

The Townspeople

Speaking about the class structure of Russian society should be called the group of townspeople. This category was divided as follows:

  • Ranks of the townsmen of Moscow – guests, hundreds, hundreds of black, black settlement;
  • People posadskie policemen – best, medium and molodsha people.

The First group was the merchant elite. This group included various merchants, which the king granted the title of “guest”. These people had different privileges, they were free to travel outside of the Moscow state, to buy the patrimony. But in addition to privileges were duties. Guests had to be barmen, appraisers, and procured materials for public use.

The Townspeople paid a “sovereign to file” and many other taxes, called tax. The population itself was called the draft. It was dividedfor hundreds of black and white settlement. The first include simple townspeople engaged in crafts, trade and crafts.

White settlement settled in cities, their classes were the same as the black hundreds, but they were feudal dependent of its owner, who paid to file. Townspeople staged serious disturbances because of their plight, so in 1649 the white settlement has been eliminated.

According to the property of the townspeople were divided into the best, serednih and molodshy.

County taxes

This group of people were peasants. They made up the majority of the population and divided:

  • Chernososhnyh, who had the personal freedom, economy osnovyvatsya on public land that could be inherited living communities and pay huge taxes;
  • Possessory or feudal-dependent.

Among historians there are two theories about the enslavement of the peasants. The first mentioned, says that the enslavement began after the decree of Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich. Bazukina theory States that this decree was not, and the process of enslavement of the peasants occurred gradually because of debt bondage. The supporters of the other theory is still debated, the consensus on this issue and has not appeared.

Slaves

This category of the population were personally dependent. Slaves depended on their masters, were legally disenfranchised. The class was divided:

  • Memos slaves – usually they were klyuchnyky, that is, control of the feudal farms;
  • Combat – was carrying military service;
  • Bonded, which of the free people passed into the service;
  • Zadvorny – they lived "the yard" of the landowner, he worked on his land, received from him the products;
  • Business people – they led self-management.

Gradually, the vassals and the peasants were merged, becoming one class.

Idle people

This is the most diverse category of people in the class structure of society. They were also called free. This group went beyond the class framework, and it could get people from every layer. Do people walking was not their land. Some of them were going to tax people for the job. Such workers are called neighbors, podsosenki, with drones. Others had no specific occupation or place of residence. The government struggled with this category of the population, as the free people took part in the riots.

So we looked at the social class structure of society in Russia in the XVII century, and described all existing at this time of the class.
