. After the imperial land consolidation acts of 1906, the Russian land communebecame a center of territorial struggle where complex alliances of actors,strategies, and representations of territory enacted land enclosure beyondthe exclusive control of the state. Using original documentation of Russianimperial land deals obtained in the federal and municipal archives, thisstudy explores how the Russian imperial state and territories in theperiphery were dialectically co-produced not only through institutionalmanipulations, educational programs, and resettlement plans but also throughpolitical and public discourses. This paper examines how coalitions of landednobility and land surveyors, landless serfs, and peasant proprietors usedenclosure as conduits for property violence, accumulation of capital, or, incontrast, as a means of territorial autonomy. Through this example, I bring aterritorial dimension into Russian agrarian scholarship by positioning therural politics of the late imperial period within the global context ofcapitalist land enclosure. At the same time, by focusing on the reading ofterritory from the Russian historical perspective, I introduce complexityinto the modern territory discourse often found in Western politicalgeographic interpretations.
