During the sixteenth century, most Russian peasants were bound to the land and lived hard, short, miserable lives. The majority of the peasant population at that time was comprised of serfs, who were tied to the estates of landowners and had limited rights and opportunities for mobility. Their existence was characterized by labor-intensive agriculture, heavy taxation, and the obligation to provide labor or goods to their landlords, which often led to difficult living conditions.
