Villages (sela)
Description
An account of the resource
Villages came in several varieties, the <em>derevnia</em> and the <em>selo</em> being by far the most numerous. This layer describes the geography of the <em>selo</em> (село > села), the quintessential Russian village. A selo was generally a large rural settlement, the site of an Orthodox church, and a seat of peasant administration.
<p><strong>Digging Deeper</strong></p>
<p>Several atlas sheets conflate sela with four other settlement types. That practice has been preserved in the Imperiia Project, for lack of any way to disambiguate the various types:</p>
<ol>
<li>большой двор (large homestead): Kurliand</li>
<li>кирка малая (small parish): Grand Duchy of Finland</li>
<li>погость (pogost'): Pskov, Novgorod, Tver, Moscow, Smolensk, Chernigov, Tula, Olonets, Vologda, Arkhangel'sk</li>
<li>словода (sloboda): Poltava, Kharkov, Ekaterinoslav, Kursk, Kaluga, Iaroslav, Vladimir, Tambov, Voronezh, Viatka, Nizhnii Novgorod, Penza, Kazan, Simbirsk, Saratov, Don Cossack lands, Astrakhan, Kafkaz, Perm, Orenburg, Tobolsk, Tomsk, Enisejsk, Omsk, Irkutsk, Kamchatka, Iakutsk</li>
</ol>The <strong>sloboda</strong> was a settlement or group of settlements that had, originally, been exempt from the taxes and obligations imposed on most of the populace for a specified period of years. In return, inhabitants of the sloboda performed other tasks: garrison duty, household work, trade, crafts, etc. In areas of Siberia and in the Ukrainian lands the sloboda was used as a mechanism for attracting settlers and increasing agricultural activity.<br /><br />The <strong>pogost'</strong> was a feature of the northern reaches of Russia: a settlement complete with church, marketplace, and surrounding rural administrative district.

Villages (derevni)
Description
An account of the resource
Villages came in several varieties, the <em>derevnia</em> and the <em>selo</em> being by far the most numerous. This layer describes <em>derevni</em> (деревня > деревни), which correspond, more or less, to the English term "hamlet": a small, unincorporated, rural settlement. While a selo was generally the site of an Orthodox church and a seat of peasant administration, a derevnia lacked those features. <br /><br />This layer contains 4,455 villages, spread from islands off the Finnish coast to the mouth of the Lena River in northern Siberia. This is a crucial point, in fact: in comparison with <em>sela</em>, the distribution of derevni was less dense but more widespread.
