A state can be federated orunitary, can have any political device. The only thing that unites all countries is the division into classes that has existed since the time of the primitive communal system.
What is a class structure
The division of the state or society into classes maybe called differently. For medieval Europe and Tsarist Russia, the estate structure of the country was characteristic. The statuses of these units have been created for hundreds of years. The presence of various social groups has always talked about social inequality. The population was formed on the basis of characteristic features in the first place in order to highlight the privileged stratum, or to know, standing at the highest state level, and to give it all the powers. From the beginning of the XVIII century in Russia, the representative of this class was a person belonging to the nobility.
About a similar state system spokePlato. But the estates relevant to ancient Rome, with its fall, lost their name, meaning and meaning. Every time, every country has its own divisions into classes. In Russia in 1917, as a result of the revolution, the largest Eurasian state ceased to exist, and such "castes" as noblemen and tradesmen ceased to exist. Consequently, the person belonging to the nobility, as well as to the petty bourgeois, lost its rights and privileges.
Characteristic features of social classes
National layers defined by someto features in any public group, possessed the characteristic signs, the rights, powers and the privileges fixed at the state level and transferred by inheritance. There was always strict caste, there were features inherent only to this social class. And even if a certain estate ceased to exist in reality, for many years it continued to live in the human consciousness or became a common noun, entered into the lexicon. Thus, the word “slaves” will always apply to a person of the lowest, most dependent origin or behavior. And the concept of “nobility”, even mentioned ironically, implies a group of influential and wealthy people. The word “petty bourgeois” generally acquired a scornful meaning, although it related to a human contingent that possesses a certain wealth, law-abiding and non-conflict.
"Nobleman - for many, one"
After the October Revolution, the statethe policy was aimed at minimizing the merits and achievements of representatives of high society. In general, it was impossible to erase them from memory, since the brightest historical figures for the most part came from this society. Suvorov - a person belonging to the nobility. Kutuzov and Nakhimov, Glinka and Zhukovsky - noblemen, heroism, patriotism and the contribution to the greatness of Russia of which they are not given to belittle or erase from memory. It was possible to silence or completely distort the passionary traits and human courage of Stolypin, Kornilov and many other best representatives of humanity. How well the proverb says about this: "A nobleman will not throw honor, even though the little head will disappear."
Of course, the highest virtues are notOnly representatives of the elite. One can cite hundreds of examples, but the feats of Ivan Susanin, as well as Minin and Pozharsky, who liberated Russia from the interventionists of the Rzecz Pospolita, have always been the most famous. The first of these is the peasant, the second (Minin) is a wimp, the third is a person belonging to the nobility. Like Pushkin, Nekrasov, Turgenev and the Thick - Leo and Alexey.
Territorial affiliation nobility
Each Russian province had its own"Nobility meeting", was its leader. Actually, being in this or that union, spoke about the address affiliation of a person of this class, meant, so to speak, the location of his “noble nest”.
In the province of Tula was his noblemeeting, bringing together a group of people of high society. V.I. Chernopyatov (1857–1935) compiled the most reliable and multivolume reference book entitled “The nobility of the Tula gubernia”, published during 1908–1915. It includes absolutely all the data from the time of the nobility under Peter I to the day of his disappearance. It takes into account not only pedigrees, family interweaving among themselves, family fortunes, but also feats in the name of the Fatherland, accomplished by representatives of this class, their good deeds for the province and Russia as a whole, schools, hospitals, libraries and industrial enterprises built on them. facilities. Such sciences as heraldry and genealogy are now becoming incredibly popular. It is very fashionable to restore your ancestry, to find out if you belong to “glorious Russian surnames”, preferably having your own coat of arms. Therefore, the works of such historians as V. I. Chernopyatov are incredibly in demand.
