This chapter examines how the Peasants’ Land Bank (1882–1917) sought to integrate the Russian Empire’s peasantry into the state-controlled land credit system. Through mechanisms such as supplementary payments, partnerships, arrears management, and various locally produced instructional materials, the Bank attempted to cultivate financial discipline, reshape peasants' expectations of land ownership, and build their trust in this state institution. The chapter argues that, although no unified educational program ever emerged, these dispersed efforts reveal how exactly the state used the Bank to transform peasant economic culture and integrate rural society into the imperial financial order.

摘要

This chapter examines how the Peasants’ Land Bank (1882–1917) sought to integrate the Russian Empire’s peasantry into the state-controlled land credit system. Through mechanisms such as supplementary payments, partnerships, arrears management, and various locally produced instructional materials, the Bank attempted to cultivate financial discipline, reshape peasants' expectations of land ownership, and build their trust in this state institution. The chapter argues that, although no unified educational program ever emerged, these dispersed efforts reveal how exactly the state used the Bank to transform peasant economic culture and integrate rural society into the imperial financial order.
