Socioeconomic aspects of rural community formation in Russia according to the interpretation of P. A. Kropotkin

The article deals with the formation of the rural community in Russia in the interpretation of the Russian anarchism ideologist P.A. Kropotkin. It is noted, that according to Kropotkin, the Russian rural community could become a foundation for the subsequent social system, based on the principles of equality and justice. The study shows, that Kropotkin, unlike B.N. Chicherin, argued that the rural community in Russia was not an artificial product of the Russian government implemented for some fiscal purposes, but the natural stage of the social development.
