		By that time, the boyars had largely merged with the elite bureaucracy, who were obligatory servitors of the state, to form a new nobility, the dvoryanstvo.
		The state required service from both the old and the new nobility, primarily in the military.

		In the old times, when Russia was merely a collection of some seventy independent principalities, each reigning prince was surrounded by a group of armed men, composed partly of Boyars, or large landed proprietors, and partly of knights, or soldiers of fortune.
		The tone which reigned in the Court circle of St. Petersburg spread gradually towards the lower ranks of the Dvoryanstvo, and it seemed to superficial observers that a very fair imitation of the French Noblesse had been produced; but in reality the copy was very unlike the model.
		The Russian Dvoryanin easily learned the language and assumed the manners of the French gentilhomme, and succeeded in changing his physical and intellectual exterior; but all those deeper and more delicate parts of human nature which are formed by the accumulated experience of past generations could not be so easily and rapidly changed.

		The strips were periodically redistributed (peredely) within the derevni to produce level economic conditions - albeit at the expense of actual efficiency.
		Despite this the land was not owned by the mir; the land was the legal property of the 100,000 or so land-owners (dvoryanstvo) and the inhabitants, as serfs, were not allowed to leave the property where they were born.
		The peasants were duty bound to make regular payments in labour and goods, usually working the land half-and-half for themselves and the land-owner.

		The core component of the Russian System is the Vlast’, which rules with the help of social groups or interests that are close to them.
		Originally, those groups were the boyarstvo (nobility), followed by the dvoryanstvo (gentry), and finally, the chinovnichestvo (bureaucracy-functionaries).
		As each of these political "in-groups" became overly influential, the Vlast’ stepped in to eliminate or, at least, incapacitate them so as to prevent their emergence as an independent social class.

	Russia By Donald Mackenzie Wallace (1905)- Chapter 20 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut
		CHAPTER XX The Nobles In Early Times--The Mongol Domination--The Tsardom of Muscovy--Family Dignity--Reforms of Peter the Great--The Nobles Adopt West-European Conceptions--Abolition of Obligatory Service-- Influence of Catherine II.--The Russian Dvoryanstvo Compared with the French Noblesse and the English Aristocracy--Russian Titles-- Probable Future of the Russian Noblesse.
		Hitherto I have been compelling the reader to move about among what we should call the lower classes--peasants, burghers, traders, parish priests, Dissenters, heretics, Cossacks, and the like--and he feels perhaps inclined to complain that he has had no opportunity of mixing with what old-fashioned people call gentle- folk and persons of quality.
		Hereditary aristocracies may be preserved--or at least their decomposition may be retarded--where they happen to exist, but it seems that they can no longer be created.

		What finally destroys them is the convention of the duel, symptom of a helplessly rigid society locked in manners from which no one can find an escape, and by a much remarked-upon irony, Pushkin was to die after just such a duel.
		The Larins typify the so-called dvoryanstvo, the country-house-owning classes who are the setting for so much in Russian fiction (and from which Tchaikovsky himself came): they live close to their land, both exacting and returning the loyalty of their peasants, yet are in touch with the socalled intelligentsia represented by Onegin and Lensky.
		This is the setting for most of the opera, a world well known to generations of Russians, one remote from Moscow and St. Petersburg and prone to ennui but deeply connected to the very soil and customs of ancient Russia.

		Smolensk today appears deeply embedded in Russia, but when Potemkin was born it was still on the borderlands.

		Down to her time the Government had thought merely of class obligations; under the influence of Western ideas she introduced the conception of class rights.
		She wished, as we have seen, to have in her Empire a Noblesse and tiers-etat like those which existed in France, and for this purpose she granted, first to the Dvoryanstvo and afterwards to the towns, an Imperial Charter, or Bill of Rights.
		Succeeding sovereigns have acted in the same spirit, and the Code now confers on each class numerous privileges as well as numerous obligations.

	Bulychev's "How To Become An SF Writer"
		Lev was married to a Polish woman, Valeria Bonifatievna; he was a mathematician and liberal, which led him to teach in a Sunday school, where he taught workers together with Naden'ka Krupskaya, with whom he was friendly, and through whom he met her husband Ulyanov.
		But he never became a social- democrat; as a professor of mathematics he received a personal dvoryanstvo [I take this to be the equivalent of a British knighthood-JHC), and during the war he founded a company for supplying the army with spirits.
		After the revolution he taught mathematics in a Leningrad school, he maintained good relations with Nadezhna Konstantinovna, and quite possibly this saved him from arrest, if not from a painful death.
