Catherine the Great's policies had a limited impact on the liberation of serfs in Russia during her reign. While she implemented some reforms to improve the conditions of serfs, such as allowing them to buy their freedom and limiting the power of landowners, she ultimately did not abolish serfdom. The liberation of serfs in Russia did not occur until the mid-19th century, after Catherine's reign.
When Alexander II freed the serfs (peasants) in Russia in 1861. The serfs were never truly freed. The Russian government bought land from the landowners to give to the serfs, but the serfs were required to repay the Russian government. These repayments took 49 years and the serfs stayed on the land until it was fully repaid.
Freed serfs were given small emounts of land but they still had to pay heavy taxes.
