narod
/naˈrɒd/Russian History
noun
In Russia and (formerly) the Soviet Union: the people, the nation; (specifically in Russian and Soviet political ideology) the common people viewed as the bearers of national culture.
- Narod has been used by successive movements to denote differing demographic groups. To the Narodniki in pre-revolutionary Russia, the term encompassed the peasantry and the intelligentsia, excluding the working class; to the Bolsheviks, by contrast, it comprised the entire working class. The Soviet state used narod more broadly to comprehend the Soviet Union as a whole, bringing together numerous nationalities..
Origin
1930s; earliest use found in American Journal of Sociology. From Russian narod people, nation.
