Serfs
In general serfs worked on land and had arrangements made for them by the lord of the land. Also the lord of the land makes arrangements as to what the serf does.
34 out of 36 million peasants were either landlord serfs or state peasants. State peasants mainly stayed on less fertile lands and suffered less restrictions even though they were required to do industrial work. (Vice versa landlord serfs.)
