Pathways of Rural Stratification in Russia's European North

Abstract: Employing survey data and fieldwork from the Republic of Komi, this article demonstrates that sources of stratification such as food sales, land expansion and household business, that have a significant effect in regions favourable to agricultural production, do not have a similar impact on household stratification in this forested region. The differing effects of entrepreneurial activity in Komi may be attributed to the household employment structure in which agricultural employment is a minority. As a result, the primary source of stratification is employment income, not entrepreneurship.
