heads of families were flogged for not having paid taxes.[1]
Between 1878 and 1881, out of 1,200 heads of families in a
single village district, 797 were flogged.[2] In 1884, 178 out of
415 peasants were flogged in three villages in the province of
Kiev, for arrears of taxes.[3] In a period of less than six
weeks, in ten villages of the district of Nova Ladoga, in the
province of St. Petersburg, 224 heads of families out of a total
of 517 were flogged, for their inability to pay the taxes
demanded by the “paternal Government.”
