_Householders._ _Number._ _Per cent._ Total allotted 187 100 Vote required for redivision 125 66⅔ Indifferent to redivision (horseless, leasing their lots) 44 23 Opposition sufficient to stay the same 18 10 Having 2 horses or more 36 20 (_Loc. cit._, pp. 130, 131.) 4. Village Kunakovo, b. Zmievskaya, Dankoff, “The peasants live in great poverty. Redivision is talked about; it is much checkmated by the fact that many among the householders are permanently living outside.” (_Loc. cit._, p. 254.) Out of the 28 householders holding a share in the communal land, 11 lease their lots _in toto_; 9 among them have no houses in the village; 23 adult males are working outside. After deduction of the 11 lessors above mentioned, who obviously do not live in the village, the remaining 17 are insufficient for a majority even in case of unanimity. Yet they are divided as follows: _Householders._ _Personally._ _By hire._ _In all._ Tilling their lots-- Total 9 2 11 In part (the rest leased) 2 4 6 -- -- -- 11 6 17 Nine workers among these are moreover employed outside. (_Ib._, pp. 128-132.) If there is no antagonism to the redivision, then indifference on the part of some is but natural. 5. Village Sergievskoye, Ranenburg, “Most of the ‘horseless’ half of the village are working exclusively outside. A good many are in arrears for taxes. Their lots are taken from them by the community and given to the wealthiest householders. This tends greatly to still further enrich the few at the expense of the many. In 1863 about one sixth of the bailiwick (300 ‘revision males’) emigrated to the _gubernia_ of Stavropol, Caucasus, leaving their lots to the community. The land was distributed among the best-situated householders. All of the emigrants, save 15 families, have now come back, but the _mir_ refuses to return their lots. This is the case with the emigrants in all the communities of the district. It is very difficult to settle the matter of the redivision, for the people are always away at work, and the redivision is opposed by the most influential householders, who keep in their hands the lots of the former emigrants and delinquent tax-payers.” (_Loc. cit._, part I., p. 305,) These are the figures connected with the above statement: _Per cent._ Horseless 54 Outside workers 56 (_Ibid._, pp. 116-120.) Apart from the opposition of the lessees, it is hardly ever possible to get even a simple majority to vote upon the redivision.
