Obrok is rent paid for the use of land, either in kind (i.e. poultry, eggs, meat, honey, cloth, grain) or in money. Obrok was more widespread than barshchina from the thirteenth to the early sixteenth century. Obrok decreased in the sixteenth century, as the practice of service-tenure landholding developed. In the eighteenth century, obrok was more predominant in areas of poorer farmland and where trade was developed, and more commonplace among church and crown peasants. With the development of peasant trade in the second half of the eighteenth century, their was more widespread payment of obrok in money rather than in kind. Generally, peasants who paid obrok had more economic freedom than those who performed barshchina. After 1861, obrok was replaced by the system of redemption payments.
