In general, the children of serfs were also serfs. This was not quite like slavery, however, because bright children could be educated and enter monasteries, and children who were not so bright could often enter monasteries as workers. There were other paths out of serfdom, also, such as just running away, and if a serf ran off to a chartered town or city and stayed away for a year, he or she was considered free.

Earlier attempts at freeing the Serfs during the Romanov Dynasty ended in unpleasantness and the Serfs not being freed.
