The Czar's Proclamation of Emancipation in Poland On the 15th of April, by a recent ukase of the Czar, every serf in Russian Poland is to be at once and forever set free from all bondage. He is to own the cottage and the plot of ground which he has been occupying, his time and labor are to be his own, and he is liberated from all claims to service and obligations of labor which his master may have possessed over him

[cut]

The millions who, on the 15th of April, shall stand up freemen, are so many supporters of the Russian Government, and pledges of its continuance in Poland. The Polish aristocracy are attacked in the house of their friends.

The mind cannot easily grasp the extent and results of such great measures of human elevation, as this act of Polish Emancipation. A whole people of serfs, living in ignorance and dependence on half barbaric masters, suddenly made free in person and labor, and gifted with communal self-government!

(imperial) enfranchisement decree

This is about land, not freedom.
In 2 March 1864, the Russian authority, compelled by the uprising to compete for the loyalty of Polish peasants, officially published an enfranchisement decree in Congress Poland[47] along the lines of an earlier land reform proclamation of the insurgents.

Uwłaszczenie chłopów – nadanie chłopom na własność użytkowanej przez nich ziemi, połączone ze zniesieniem obciążeń feudalnych na rzecz pana feudalnego (szlachcica), czyli pańszczyzny, czynszu i tzw. "darmoch" (tj. darmowych posług, do których chłopi byli zobowiązani na rzecz dworu, np. stróżowania, uprawy pańskiego ogrodu, koszenia trawy, połowu ryb, sypania grobli, podwód, noszenia listów pańskich).

Dziękuję Michale.
agree magdadh : absolutely (tangentially, that Wikipedia entry has strange ideas indeed about land ownership in the UK which is *extremely* concentrated ;))
