  8. Peasant Duma Deputy, G.F. Fedorov (1908 speech) When the peasants sent me here, they said: “Go, ask, demand that they divide up the land for us.” We did not come here to carve up our tiny plots into even smaller pieces. The government should not think that from this law the country will become content and tranquil. If I should get the two acres of land [that I now hold], all the same I shall scream: “Give me land!” I have nothing to eat. I can’t exist!! As to the comment by Duma deputy Shidlovskii [a noble landowner] that our [national] culture will go under, then just let him show me what “culture” will allow me to survive on two acres of land!
