metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article analyses the educational differentiation of the nobility during the reign of Elizabeth
  expressed in the status of their property (number of “souls”); the geographical location of
  their estates; the educational institutions where they were sent; and the age when they began
  education. It is based on a wide array of historical sources, among which archival records from
  the collections of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. The data of registration of gentry
  were supplemented by materials from educational institutions (The Noble Land Cadet Corps,
  The Naval Cadet Corps, artillery and engineering schools, Gymnasium of Saint Petersburg
  Academy of Sciences). The article demonstrates the career achievements; establishes which
  schools gave a higher percentage of students who replenished the elite of the Russian Empire.
  The median value of the estate for all gentry was 20 souls, including those who did not
  have peasants. The poorest representatives of the “noble proletariat” were students of garrison
  schools, more than half of whom did not have peasants at all. The highest was the median
  value of serf-ownership among the students of the Noble Land Cadet Corps. Average and big
  noble landowners (owners of hundreds and thousands of “souls”) studied in the Noble Land
  Cadet Corps. The percentage of generals from the families of major and middle-rank landowners
  was also the highest among graduates of the Noble Land Cadet Corps. The presented
  figures clearly show the preferences of different layers of nobility, their educational strategies,
  the results of their career advancement.
