[edit] Liberation from serfdom for recruited serfs and their unborn children fact
"Did you know that by Peter the Great's reform of the Russian military, the recruits, mostly called from the enserfed peasanrty for 25 years (virtually for life), were liberated from serf status? Even more little known fact is that, the recruit's children born after his recruitment were also liberated!"
- This little known fact about the military reform I found in Britannica needs to be mentioned in several articles such as History of Russia, Russian serfdom, etc. -Irpen 06:12, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Good find. I usually get my information from the DYK Template on Wikipedia, then post it here. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 14:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I just created a new Garrison school article with this info. Maybe, after the proofread, we can submit the fact with the ref to this article to WP:DYK? What do you think? -Irpen 06:24, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
