Khutor

Khutor

Khutor or hutor ( _ru. ху́тор, "khutor"; _ua. ху́тiр, "khutir") is usually taken to refer to a single-homestead rural settlement (farmstead) of Eastern Europe. The word originated in Ukraine, but later came to be applied to farmsteads in Russia and Kazakhstan.

Khutors were originally founded as a result of exploration of new lands by Cossacks. In the Cossack-settled regions of Ukraine, Don and Kuban the word "khutor" was used to describe new settlements (notwithstanding the actual number of homesteads therein) which had detached themselves from bigger villages or stanitsas. These new settlements were alternatively known as "vyselki" (literally, "those who moved away from their village").

In Russia, where serfdom and "obshchina" (peasants' community) were maintained well into the nineteenth century, the khutors were unheard-of until the rise of capitalism. The emancipation of the serfs and the decay of the obshchina were accompanied by introduction of khutors as isolated farmsteads with household structures and a plot of land for individual use.

During his attempt to resolve the agrarian crisis in Russia, Peter Stolypin envisaged rich peasants "privatising" their share of the community ("obshchina") lands, leaving the obshchinas, and settling in khutors on their now individually owned land. A less radical concept was that of an "otrub" (отруб): a section of formerly "obshchina" land, whose owner has left the "obshchina" but still continued to live in the village and to "commute" to his land. [ [http://www.bashedu.ru/encikl/oooo/otrub.htm ОТРУБ ] ] By 1910 the share of khutors and "otrubs" among all rural households in the European part of Russia was estimated at 10.5%. These were practically eliminated during the collectivisation in the USSR.

Individual estates and dachas in Estonia and Ingria have been traditionally known as "myza" (мыза), from the Finnic word for "estate". In the late nineteenth century, similar estates in the Baltic provinces came to be Russified as khutors.
