Many scholars have argued that in Right Bank Ukraine, Prussian type agrarian capitalism was well-developed by the beginning of the twentieth century. They suggest that the semi-proletarian peasants who were needed as a labor force for this type of agrarian capitalism were created through the seizure of land by landlords and the descent of peasants from the upper to the lower classes in the first half of the nineteenth century. However, all the chronological materials regarding the estates of Podlya (one of the three provinces of Right Bank Ukraine) that are known to exist today show that there were no such land seizures or cases of downward mobility from the end of the eighteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth. Though the number of lower class peasants increased, the number of upper classes peasants remained the same throughout this period, and the number of lower classes peasants grew only on those estates where there was a growth in total population. Moreover, the number of livestock per peasant grew in this period despite the increase in the days of forced labor. Therefore, the increase in the ratio of lower class peasants was the result of population increase, and not the result of either land seizures or downward mobility.
