Selo definition

Selo means a big village with a church, while "derevnia" means a small village without one. "Selenie" is a general term which embraces both "selo" and "derevnia." Usually, selos were located near road junctions, and had marketplaces (bazaars), post offices, sanatoria, and other public facilities.13 A selo had several (sometimes, more than ten) "satellite" derevnias. As Aleksandr Chaianov observed,14 the average radius from the center of selos to their outlying derevnias was about 5 verstas (5.3km). This was a distance within which peasants could walk to church and carry grain to the bazaar. For convenience, let us term this sort of territory a "selo-derevnias" unit. It was here that peasants were born, worked, bought and sold, prayed, married and, finally, were buried.
