The article reviews a multi-authored monograph titled Domestic Servants in the Russian Empire in the Second Half of the 19th and Early 20th Centuries. The book comprehensively investigates the issue of domestic servants in post-reform Russia. It studies a great number of sources, contains interesting factual material and comes to some theoretical conclusions, as well as makes a serious contribution to understanding the social transformations in Russia. The review maintains that the investigated issues are highly relevant, since domestic service is in great demand in today’s Russia, though remaining as poorly regulated as it was in the early 20th century.
