would not give way to the new modernizing social currents. 47 For
example, arguing his case against the assertion that there was no
basis for socialism in Bulgaria, the founder of the Bulgarian
Social Democratic Party (later the Communist Party), Dimitar
Blagoev, claimed in 1891 that capitalism was an unavoidable stage
in the development of his country and that all hopes of avoiding
this evolution by preserving or resurrecting the largely defunct
zadruga were in vain. 48
In this respect and concerning
historical developments in Russia, Blagoev was in agreement with
Plekhanov rather than with Lenin, who firmly supported the
village commune. 49
For all their diverse motives, the partisans of the
different approaches invariably overstated their arguments and
consequently helped to promote an exaggerated view of the place
and role of the zadruga in the social life of the Balkans and
specifically of the South Slavs.
Foreign evaluations can be
divided into two main approaches. Scholars of the region treated
the Balkans as "the Volksmuseum of Europe. II To borrow Hammel's
apt verdict: "The social organization and culture of the Balkans
[were) regarded as a still-living example of what life must have
been like in the misty past of the Indo-European peoples." 50
Studying the zadruga through a magnifying glass as the chef
d'oeuvre of this museum certainly left its imprint on the
proportions of the general picture.
As romantic and
evolutio~istic theories were substituted for empirical research
mainly in the interwar period, serious and balanced assessments
began to appear.
Another approach, however, stemming from non-specialists in
the region, helped to perpetuate the myth of the zadruga.
It
began with the efforts to classify existing knowledge and create
a model based on typological differences.
One of the first
taxonomical approaches to family history was that of Frederick Le
Play, the nineteenth-century French sociologist.
Many of his
principal ideas can be followed in contemporary theories of
family history, especially since the revival of interest in his
literary legacy.51 According to Le Play, families can be divided
into three types: the patriarchal, stem, and unstable families.
The first, according to him, was common among eastern nomads,
Russian peasants, and the Slavs of central Europe.
Le Play
viewed the patriarchal family as a necessity of life in the case
of the nomads, who could not exist in isolation, and as a product
of the feudal organization of property in the case of the
sedentary farmers.
The other extreme, th~ unstable family,
prevailed "among the working-class populations subject to the new
manufacturing system of western Europe," and its spread was due
chiefly to the forced division of property.52 The intermediate
type, the stem family, was a kind of social organization in which
only one married child remained with the parents, while the rest
were given dowries.
12
a) The Evidence
Let us analyze one example, extensively used as early proof
for the existence of the zadruga, the Law Code of the Serbian
Tsar Stefan Dushan of 1349 and 1354, and specifically its much
cited article 70. 65 This article stipulates that brothers, or a
father and his sons, living in the same house (ou edinoi koukie),
but separated in their food and property (hlebom i imaniem),
should work like the other peasants (mali lyudye), even though
they share the same hearth (ognishtye).
Although neither
zadruga nor any adjectival form from the same root was used in
the text, it is widely assumed that house (kucha) was meant to
describe a zadruga. 66 The only obvious textual interpretation,
however, points to the fact that people from the same kin,
divided in their means of livelihood and property, could share
the same shelter. Novakovich rightly points out that this was
used to avoid excessive taxes and work, since these were
distributed by house. 67
Such fragmentary evidence specifies neither whether this
zadruqa-like arrangement was a widespread practice, nor whether
it was lasting. This type of documentary material has served as
a basis for the theory, which derives the zadruga from the
taxation practices of the medieval Serbian, Byzantine, or ottoman
states.
In fact, the only characteristic shared by the
fourteenth-century joint family arrangement and the nineteenth
century family form, designated as zadruga, was common shelter.
Such seemingly obligatory and self-evident features of the
zadruga as common property and livelihood, however, were
obviously absent from the earlier documentation. Significantly,
this circumstance has not been given due attention by scholars.
One 6f the few scholars to pay close attention to medieval
sources has been Eugene Hammel, who maintains, on the basis of
Serbian sources ,that only two kinds of medieval documents
contain explicit data on household organization. These are the
medieval chryssobulls of the Serbian Empire and the ottoman
defters used as fiscal records. Hammel comments curiously:
"I
ignore here the very rare references in codes and proclamations,
rare perhaps because the zadruga was so common that no one
needed to mention it."68
This is certainly a logical
alternative theory, although it seems likely that the rare
reference reflected rare occurrence.
Similarly, commenting on
the inconclusive evidence from medieval sources, Hammel counters
that his "faith lies more with peasant ability to dissemble." 69
(Table 3 shows possible interpretations of a single source.)
Let us take a brief look at the simplest possibility: ~
Two-generational depth, case 1 describing an entry consisting of
a man and his son. As can be seen, different interpretations and
their subsequent representations would result in completely
different types of families, covering the whole range of family
15
forms:
simple, extended, and multiple. The picture is further
complicated'in the case of three persons comprised in a two
generational family, and even more so in a three-generational
family, where possible representations do not nec~ssarily
correspond to probable occurrences.
The conclusion to be drawn
is that this type of scanty information permits a loose
interpretation which could lead to the opposite conclusion.
Hammel himself after analyzing the lists concedes that:
No one can prove that they were zadrugas, rather than a
looser territorial aggregate, such as a set of agnates
living close to one anotrrer, or simply an extended
kin-network. But if we admit what careful ethnography
seems to make clear, namely that the zadruga has a
flexible spatial definition varying from the vayat
(sleeping hut) to co-owned but differently located
farms, it seems more reasonable to take these groups
as zadrugas. 70
The crucial words here are "careful ethnography. II The point,
however, is that no matter how careful it is, Balkan ethnography
rests exclusively on nineteenth- and twentieth-century data. To
project ethnographic findings back in time would be at least
precipitate, but usually most dangerous.
Let is return briefly here to the problem of the size of the
zadruga.
A minority of authors insist on the irrelevance of
size to the explanation of the phenomenon.
Let us reflect on
what the people themselves called that which scholars define as
zadruga. As alreadz mentioned, the most commonly used terms were
ku6a (house) or ~eljad (children, lot), which were almost
invariably preceded by. adjectives such as velika or goljama (big,
great). Certainly, for the people the size of the zadruga was an
important characteristic which should be preserved, although no
strict quantitative criterion can be deduced from this. In any
case, the zadruga cannot be reduced to a simple family, no matter
how numerous it is. It can be safely assumed, however, that in a
representation based on kin structure, the zadruga is depicted by
the extended or multiple type of family.
(Table 4.)
Thus,
although it is impossible to identify with one or more of the
proposed family types in the Laslett classification, the zadruga
can be made commensurable at least in qualitative terms.
b) Distribution of Complex Family Forms in the Balkans
A question of prime importance for the assessment of the
relative share of the zadruga in the existing household and
family structures in the Balkans is the geographic distribution
of the different family forms.
(The resul ts of existing
research in the field can be summed up and followed on the map of
the Balkan Peninsula on p. 43.)71
The distribution of households according to type and
16
he observes that:
The zadruga as an organizational form must be a
transitory phase in a process of development, for only
by viewing it as such can one resolve the apparent
paradox of such a high incidence of nuclear families in
a traditional context where zadrugas should' have been
the norm. B3
families, then:
E=Ez+En
and
M=Mz+Mn,
Z=E+M-(En+Mn)
The figure for E+M can be computed, but not the figure for
En+Mn, given the state of the sources. Whatever the value for
En+Mn which would reflect regional differences, the value for Z
would rise or decrease but would practically always be lower than
E+M.

Significantly, the problem of the
ideological legacy of the Slavic communal family, and especially
the famous Russian obshchina, was recently raised in the heated
contemporary discussions on the economic future of the Soviet
Union. In what is considered one of the ground-breaking articles
of reformist thinking, Istoki (Sources), published in Novii mir,
1988, No.5, pp. 185-86, Vasilii Selyunin stressed the
fundamental relationship between forms of property and civil
rights.
predictably, in his view the village commune was a
conservative institution, hostile to private property, and
consequently, to any kind of capitalist development.
Unlike
Todd, however, who extrapolates family types out of their
historical context and by postulating their stability on the
anthropological level creates an absolute, Selyunin rightly
emphasizes the crucial role of the state. He maintains that the
village commune was introduced, or at least upheld, from above,
after the profound changes under Ivan IV during the sixteenth
century. The abolition of serfdom during the nineteenth century,
and particularly the specific ways, in which the reform of 1861
was implemented, preserved, and even further consolidated the
obshchina. The Stolypin reforms in the decade before the October
Revolution were in fact the first major transformation aimed at
enhancing individual property to the detriment of the commune.
However, the introduction of "war communism" and the confiscation
of land from the kulaks put an end to these reforms.
The
confiscated land was not redistributed among the peasants, but
became communal land.
Thus, Selyunin concludes, "the forms of
land ownership, peculiar to old Russia, were de facto restored."

SOME DEFINITIONS OF THE ZADRUGA
zadruga - Hausgenossenschaft (in Gegensatze der einzelnen
Familie), plures familiae in eadem domo (more Serbico).
(Vuk
Karad~i6, Lexicon serbico-germanico-Iatinum, 3rd ed., Belgrade,
1898, p.181).
Several families or members, living in the same house, under the
management of one head and constituting one farm, working
together on undivided property, using revenues communally,
constituting a patriarchal community, called zadruga.
(Hrvatsko
Zadru!no Pravo, art.1. (M. ve~i6, pomo~nik za javnu opravu,
Zagreb, 1884).
Eine Personengemeinschaft gew6hnlich von Verwandten, die in einem
Hause wohnend ungeteilten Grund und Boden gemeinsam
bewirtschaften.
Wir haben da eine Familie vor uns, die nicht
bloss zwei Generationen, Eltern und Kinder, umfasst, sondern
deren mehrere, drei, j a auch vier.
(Alfons Dopsch, "Die
stidslavischen Hauskommunionen, n tlsterreichische Rundschau, XIX,
2, 1909).
The zadruga is an institution of our peasantry, a national
product of its spirit, its original creation developed without a
foreign model and without the influence of legislation and legal.
experts. It was created by the legal conscience and by the needs
of our peasantry. The peasantry regulated the zadruga by custom
as its ownership collective and as a type of its peasant family
order with special family law, incorporating in the zadruga not
only its property and labor, but also family love and mutual
assistance, much earlier than the statutory laws prq~ulgated
rules for the regulation of the zadruga.
(Dragutin Ton~i6, in:
Milan Ivli6, Temelji selja~koga zakonika. Zagreb, 1933, p . 18).
II Y a zadruga, lorsque un certain nomhre de mAles issus d'une
m~me souche, vivent, seuls ou avec leurs descendents - et par
consequent leurs femmes -, en un habitat commun, sur un bien
indivis, qulils mettent en valeur pour Ie compte du groupe, sous
llautorit& d'un chef habituellement ~lu.
(Emile Sicard,
Probl~mes familiaux chez les slaves du sud, Paris, 1947, p. 30).
The zadruga a domestico-economic community....
There are four
fundamental elements of this type of group: the community of
~38
blood of the male members1 the community of life and labor; the
community of property; and the community of authority.
(Emile
Sicard, liThe Zadruga Community: A Phase in the Evolution of
Property and Family in an Agrarian Milieu," in: Communal
Families in the Balkans: The Zadruga, University of Notre Dame
Press, 1976, p. 256).
A household composed of two or more biological or small-families,
closely related by blood or adoption, owning its means of
production communally, producing and consuming its means of
livelihood jointly, and regulating the control of its property,
labor, and livelihood communally. (Philip E. Mosely, "Adaptation
for survival:
The Var~ic Zadruga," in: Communal family in the
Balkans: The Zadruga, University of Notre Dame Press, 1976, p.
31 ).
The zadruga union consists of a number of families (at least two)
whose members live and work communally according to the principle
of division of labor, communally distribute the means of
production which belong to the union, and communally consume the
frui ts of. their own labor.
The families which make up the
zadruga usually are related; they have common ancestors, but
kinship is not an obligatory condition for a zadruga.
(Milenko
S. Filipovi6, "Zadruga (Ku6na zadruga)," in: Communal FamilI ,
OPe cit., p. 286).
The zadruga is not a thing but a process The zadruga, as a
process, is a set of rules operating within certain constraints
that influence the rates at which persons are added to the
residential groups and that control the maximum size of these
groups by introducing pressures for continued accretion or for
division.
(Eugene A. Hammel, liThe zadruga as process," in:'
Household and Family in Past Time, Cambridge UniverSity Press,
1972, p. 370).
The zadruga is by no means a simple institution with a static
existence of its own but rather an epiphenomenon of demographic
and ecological conditions combined with an ideology that permits
joint-family organization to be adopted, and that on the other
hand the existence of joint-family organization can also have
important effects on the underlying demographic and ecological
variables The zadruga as an organizational form must be a
tranSitory phase in a process of development a joint family
organization similar in all its characteristics to those observed
in many other parts of the world, particularly in its
developmental aspects. (E. A. Hammel, "Reflections on the
Zadruga," Ethnologia slavica, VII, 1975, pp.146, 148, and 150).

The classical example is the research underlying the .
zadruga theory. The researchers look for empirical
material to fill in an a priori idea.
This is represented by the bulk of works in the field
of family history and historical demography.
A good example are the recently published volumes of
Histoire de la famille, as well as most of the
collective works produced by the Cambridge Group for
the History of Population and Social structure.
