This book tells how relations were built in a peasant family, how they married and divorced, how they raised children. What were everyday life, attitude to religion, a structure of housing, ideas about hygiene. What was a purely female ritual. What was considered the personal property of a woman in the property of the court, what role she played in the peasant community and why the "Babi riots" occurred. And also - about the intimate life of a peasant woman, legalized by the custom of "caresses" of the mother -in -law, prostitution and female crime, about public - the whole community - punishments of the guilty. A cruel truth opens up before the reader, and it is sometimes difficult to perceive it, but it is impossible not to know it. Vladimir Bezgin relies exclusively on documents: along with ethnographic sources, the book uses a wide range of archival materials, first introduced into scientific circulation. Vladimir Bezgin - doctor of historical sciences, professor, author of works on the history of rural everyday life
