By the 1700's there were no peasants in Europe. It was a different world.

Nonsense. There were many peasants in Europe during that period.

The link below describes what you are looking for. The background is appauling and makes it a little hard to read, but it has all the information you are looking for. In a nutshell, life for any peasant could be harsh. However, as time progressed, peasants in Eastern Europe experienced a much more brutal life. There was an enforced lifestyle - basically the peasants were still owned by the landowner and he could behave as he wished:

In eastern Europe during the seventeenth century the rights of the peasants were taken away. As a labor shortage swept eastern Europe workers became a necessity and as a result the movement of peasants was restricted. Peasants lost their land and were forced into more obligations for their lords. Between 1500 and 1650 conditions worsened and serfs could be killed for nothing
