State may be federal or unitary, can have any political system.The only thing that unites all of the country - is the division into classes, existing since the times of the primitive communal system.
What is the social class structure
division of the state or society into classes may have different names.To medieval Europe and Tsarist Russia was characterized social class structure of the country.The status of these units were created for hundreds of years.The presence of different social groups are always talking about social inequality.Population was formed from the characteristic features in the first place, in order to highlight the privileged stratum, or know, standing on the highest state level, and give it into the hands of all the powers.Since the beginning of the XVIII century in Russia representative of this class is a person belonging to the nobility.
About polity like Plato said.But class, relevant to ancient Rome with his fall lost its name, meaning and significance.Every time, every country has its own division into classes.In Russia in 1917 as a result of the Revolution has ceased to exist largest Eurasian state, and ceased to exist such "caste" as nobles and commoners.Consequently, a person belonging to the nobility, as well as to petty-bourgeois, deprived of their rights and privileges.
characteristic features of social classes
National layers defined by some similarities in some social groups have characteristic features, rights, powers and privileges enshrined at the national level and are inherited.Always observe a strict caste system, there were features unique to this social class.And even if some class ceased to exist in reality, for many years continued to live in the human mind or become a household name, was part of the lexicon.So, the word "slaves" will always be applicable to the person of the poor, most dependent origination or behavior.And the concept of "nobility" even said ironically, involves a group of influential and wealthy people.The word "petty bourgeois" in general has become a disparaging sense, though applied to the human contingent, has a certain income, law-abiding and non-confrontational.
«Noble - one of the many»
After the October Revolution, the state policy was aimed at belittling the merits and achievements of high society.Generally erase them from memory it was impossible, as the most vivid historical figures in the majority were from this society.Suvorov - a person belonging to the nobility.Kutuzov and Nakhimov, Glinka and Zhukovsky - the nobility, heroism, patriotism and contribution to the greatness of Russia which detract or deleted from the memory is not given to anyone.It was possible to silence or completely distort passionary features and human courage Stolypin, Kornilov and many other best representatives of mankind.How well this proverb says: "Honor does not throw a nobleman, though little head perish."
course, higher qualities have not only the elite.There are hundreds of examples, but the most famous were always exploits of Ivan Susanin, and Minin and Pozharsky liberated by Russian invaders of the Commonwealth.The first of these - the farmer, the second (Minin) - tradesman, the third - a person belonging to the nobility.Like Pushkin, Nekrasov, Turgenev and Tolstoy - Leo and Alex.
Location of nobility
Every Russian province had its "noble assembly" was a leader.Actually, being in a particular association, spoke about the address of the man's belonging class, meant to say, the location of his "noble nest".
in Tula province had its noble assembly that connects a group of people of high society.Chernopyatov VI (1857-1935) was the most reliable and multi-volume handbook entitled "nobility of Tula", published during the 1908-1915 period.It includes absolutely all data from the moment of the nobility under Peter I and until the day of his disappearance.It takes into account not only the pedigrees, family intertwined, family status, and feats in the name of the Motherland, committed by members of this class, their good deeds for the prosperity of the province, and Russia as a whole, schools, hospitals, libraries and industrial companies, built on theirfacilities.Who are incredibly popular science such as heraldry and genealogy.It is fashionable to restore their ancestry, discover belong to the "glorious Russian surnames", it is desirable to have a coat of arms.Therefore, the works of historians like VI Chernopyatov incredibly popular.
