Raznochintsy
Raznochintsy (
sosloviya). As a result, raznochintsy of the 17th and 18th centuries significantly contributed to the urban growth in Siberia.[1]
Later, in the common speech the term acquired a somewhat opposite meaning—raznochintsy became to denote persons of non-noble origin who due to their education were excluded from the taxable status and could apply for the status of
personal distinguished citizenship (Russian
: личное почетное гражданство).
A significant number of Russian intelligentsia of the 19th century were raznochintsy.
Notes
- ^ The singular is raznochinets (Russian: разночинец, [rəznɐˈtɕinʲɪts]).
