Best Answer

Serfs worked on the lands of the Lords and most the produce belonged to the Lords. Tenant farmers, on the other hand, work on the lands of the Lords but keep all the produce, and just pay rent.

When seftdom was abolished what did most serfs become?

tenant farmers Serfdom was abolished in 1861 by Tsar Nicholas I. This was not true abolition, because the Russian government took some land away from the owners and compensated them for it. The former serfs were then responsible to repay the government for the compensation paid. This was commonly done over a 49 year period and the former serfs would not own their own land until the full amount of the debt was repaid. In all practicality, the "freed" serfs were still bound to the land because they had no where else to go to effectively make a living. In that sense, they were very much like the tenant farmers the original answerer states they were.

What is the difference between serfs and tenant farmers?

A serf farms land that belongs to another, is able to retain some of his crop, and is legally bound to the land. He cannot leave for a better piece of land or a better job. A tenant farmer farms land that belongs to another under a rental or lease arrangement. He pays the land owner for the right to farm, usually with a portion of the crop. In theory he has the right to leave and farm elsewhere, or take a job in town. In practice, tenant farmers were sometime do deeply in debt to their land owners that they could not leave because the local law considered leaving as the same as running out on the debt. Then a tenant farmer was not much different from a serf.
