Saratov, Russian Federation
The article analyzes the characteristics of a complex, multi-generational peasant family, depending on its nationality. The classification of families was carried out in accordance with the Cambridge system of Peter Laslett. Primary census sheets of the zemstvo agricultural census of 1880s – the first half of the 1890s served as the source material. With the help of statistical methods, the relationship between nationality and the prevalence of a complex family was established. The prevalence of a complex family among three nationalities was also analyzed depending on the size of the household.
