Hartmut Rüss, The so-called free departure (vol'nyi of'ezd).
Freedom of movement was never an illimitée! right for Russian service nobility. The so-called "right to free departure" is a scientific myth, because changes of service were at the risk of the nobles without a legal basis. The few cases where such departures were tolerated were based on political reasons. The ot"ezd (abandoned service) must not be confused with a free circulation right of service men such as it appears in contracts between princes (hoiaram i slugam mezhdu nas vol'nym volia), the objective of which is to ensure the service of their clients even though they are geographically far away or depend upon other princes as far as their estates are concerned. The opinion according to which the right of departure had been abolished by Muscovite sovereigns is confusing two different notions. In the context of principalities, the "free departure" would have been a contradictio in adjecto contradicting the notions of faithfulness and princely ideology supported by the Church, and for which a departure would be equivalent to treason. With the extinction of appanaged principalities in the sixteenth century, the above formula disappeared as well. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
