between the state and society and between individual social groups. Although the image of society conveyed by the "estates" may be a distorted and relatively static one, it reminds historians of the need to examine carefully all of the available conceptions of social organization that interacted, combined and clashed in the prerevolutionary era. The legal categories constituted an important dimension of Russian social consciousness; closer attention to their dynamic and productive—as opposed to reactionary and obstructionist—impact on late nineteenth-century society may provide important insights into the acute class conflict that led to the unraveling of the old regime. Schmidt hints at one reason for governmental breakdown and societal disintegration when he notes the growing divergence between the "estate" and socio-economic orders, which had coexisted in an integrative fashion until the second half of the nineteenth century. If the "estates" defined and mediated the binding of state and society, and if they functioned effectively to amalgamate the vast Russian lands, then their dismantling in the post-emancipation era, however incomplete and uneven, could only become a source of instability and uncertainty. In making the legal and statistical dimensions of the late imperial sostoianiia readily accessible, this book gives students of Russia the chance to incorporate these categories into their own alternative depictions of society and the revolutionary process.
