consequences of emancipation
- peasants received less land then worked for, best land reserved for nobility - peasants felt cheated thought 'land belonged to those who worked for it'
- land owners sold land above market values- estimated that landowners retained 2/3 land whilst peasants received 1/3
- powers of the Mir strengthened so peasantry no longer tied to nobles but now the Mir
- nobility left angered felt hadnt been properly compensated
- peasants meant to be free to own property, get involved w economic market and political life, instead remained segregated tied by Mir unable to move freely
