for hundreds and hundreds of years, the russian nobility handled envy among their serfs by every few years doing a repartition of the land. big families would get lots of strips of land, small families would work fewer strips of land. and it made sense for the noble who owned the land because, of course, a small family could only work fewer strips of land. a large family could work more. and they would distribute them based on family size, and every few years small families would become big families, they'd do a repartition. well, many analysts say that the success of the russian revolution in 1917 in the rural areas where it wasn't expected to succeed is because there hadn't been a repartition for over 100 years. people had been waiting for it. the resentment and envy of one serf to the next serf who had more land was growing to a boiling point and, in fact, of course, stalin gave them the ultimate repartition about ten years later by taking all the land and starving so many of them. it wasn't what they bargained for. but they did bargain for a leveling. the other thing the russians
