Now you see that a new dynasty - The Romanovs - tried to find supporters which was quite reasonable. But what to distribute?
They thought it should be people.
From the 17th century a part of Russians became things - they could be bought, sold, changed, etc.
It was differnent from other countries: ususally serfs didn't belong to the main nationality of the state they lived in. E.g.: USA - from Africa, in Europe - from Africa or India and other colonies.
I could hardly imagine a Swedish landlord posessing another swedish man.
