[125]This is correctly pointed out by Lipsic,‘Viz.krest’janstvo’105 ff.,and Ocerki,57 ff.
[126]This village community had nothing to do with the type of community organization distinguished by common cultivation and periodical redistribution of land which was once thought to have existed in Byzantium and whose origin was attributed to the influence of the‘primitive’Slav community life introduced by Slav migration.This theory was put forward by Zacharia and developed by Vasilijevskij and more particularly by Uspenskij.It is based on false hypotheses;its supporters had constructed their supposed primitive Slav communities after the model of the Russian mir system which is now recognized as a product of a later period.Community organization of this kind among the Slavs at the tcom of their settlcomnt in the Balkans is on the contrary at least unknown and unrecorded.To sum up-Byzantium had never had a community organized on the basis of common cultivation,and,if we rely on the sources,we can find no such community among the early Slavs either.Byzantium certainly had communities of the kind described above,and these were found long before the Slav settlcomnt,as was also the case elsewhere.
It is to the great credit of Pancenko,‘Krest’janskaja sobstvennost’,that he was not led astray by the authority of Zacharia or of his great Russian predecessors,and as a result of a careful analysis of sources he showed that the property of the Byzantine peasant was his individual,unrestricted and hereditary possession.Unfortunately,he went too far in the opposite direction.Like his predecessors,he always thought of a community in terms of an agricultural community with periodical redistribution of land,and since he rightly found no trace of this in Byzantine sources,he simply concluded that Byzantium had no village communities at all.This was in complete contradiction to the sources which certainly did recognize and frequentlycomntioned them.
There is no doubt that the Slavs played an extrcomly important part in the revival of the Byzantine Empire in the seventh century.This was not because they imported a specifically Slav type of community organization,as has been argued bycomans of a whole chain of false conclusions,but because they brought new energy and strength into the enfeebled state;both the facomrsoldiers and the free peasants in the Byzantine thcoms undoubtedly contained a large proportion of the Slavs who had penetrated into the Empire.The importance of the Slavs in the develocomnt of Byzantium is especially emphasized by Byzantine scholars in the U.S.S.R.Cf.especially Lipsic,‘Viz.Krest’-janstvo’.Lcomrle,‘Histoire Agraire’,219,p.63 ff.,emphasizes the importance of the‘demographic revolution’(bouleverscomnt démographique)which began in Byzantium with the appearance of the Slavs in the seventh century.The theory of a Slav community organization imported into Byzantium,on the other hand,is increasingly being given up by Soviet Byzantine scholars who originally supported it.Cf.Levcenko,‘Materialy’,28 ff.,37 and especially M.J.Sjuzjumov,‘Bor’ba za puti razvitija feodal’nych otnosenij v Vizantii’(The dispute about the develocomnt of feudal relationships in Byzantium),Vizantijskie ocerki,Moscow,1961,41 ff.But see also Z.V.Udalcova and A.P.Kazdan,‘Nekotorye neresennye problemy social’noeconomiceskoj istorii Vizantii’(Scom unsolved problems in the social and economic history of Byzantium),Voprosy istorii 1958,10,83 ff.,and the objections put forward by M.J.Sjuzjumov,‘Nekotorye problemy istorii Vizantii’(Scom problems in the history of Byzantium),ibid.1959,3,101 ff.,which Ⅰ consider to be justified.
[127]The relationship between the provisions of the Facomr’s Law on this matter(§19)and the allelengyon regulations is also referred to by Lipsic,Viz.Krest’janstvo 104,while Kazdan,Gorod i derevnja,169 ff.,and‘K voprosu ob osobennostjach feodal’noj sobstvennosti v Vizantii Ⅷ-Ⅹ vv.’(On the question of the characteristics of feudal holdings in Byzantium from the eighth to the tenth centuries),ⅤⅤ10(156),63 ff.,denies it.
