Russians are an East Slavic people centered in European Russia. First coalescing politically in the Middle Ages as the Rus' and adopting the Eastern Orthodox religion, feudal Russia became a tsarist state, expanded into an empire stretching from Eastern Europe and the Caucuses through Central and North Asia, which converted in a 1917 communist revolution to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that in 1991 collapsed and was replaced by a parliamentary federation with a market economy. A traditionally agrarian society, the abolition of serfdom in the mid-nineteenth century and aggressive government promotion of industrial development—continued into the mid-twentieth century under the soviet system of state-owned enterprises and collective farms—rapidly turned Russia into a world power. Alongside their prominent role in the vanguard of the modern, Russians remarkably have retained Orthodox Christian and rural collectivist sentiments, reflected in a celebrated tradition of folklore, arts, music, and literature.
