Picture

I couldn't find anything good, I settled on File:Fugitive by S.V.Ivanov (1886, GTG).jpg because its entitled fugitive, seems to show a peasant rather than some other criminal. The period is problematic, as it was after abolition of serfdom in Russia, but it is probably better than no picture. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:10, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No. It depicts a fugitive from katorga. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Title

IMO "Fugitive serfs" would a be more specific title, and more self-explanatory. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
