metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The overwhelming majority of Russian peasants in late imperial Russia did not undergo systematic
  schooling. For this reason, they have not yet fully mastered the cognitive abilities of
  the educated person and possessed a specific, so-called sympathetic thinking. It is a practical
  analysis and synthesis, a generalization without detaching from the concrete and within
  the information directly accessible to it. Abstract thinking is poorly developed, an individual
  can operate with information derived almost exclusively from his life experience and within
  the framework of this experience. However, indifference to formal operations and to logical
  abstract reasoning is not an inability to think: the same peasants to whom abstract thought
  was given with difficulty, in those cases when an object represented to them a vital interest,
  showed themselves to be judicious, skillful, and refined. Cognitive abilities correspond
  to the metacognitive skills of a person — the current self-control and self-control, the ability
  to reflect on the thinking processes of one’s own and other people, to engage in self-analysis
  and self-criticism, to analyze their actions in the past, to connect them with the reality of the
  present and mentally transfer to their own future, to reason at a high moral level. In view of
  this, the self-concept of peasants and educated people differed significantly. In their majority,
  farmers were collectivists in essence, tried to refrain from going against the group interests, to
  set personal goals and desires above the public, to show independence and independence in
  their actions and actions and to build their behavior based on their own convictions.
