Feudalism was still present in mid-century Russia; this created a class struggle in the Russian society. In the short story Mumu, the author Ivan Turgenev, demonstrates a feudalism government through the events of an old lonely woman lord and her serfs. The woman is extremely powerful and acts in a selfish behaviour towards her serfs, in a society where economic status exists among the latter.

《木木》首次发表于《现代人》杂志1854年第3期,小说在1852年5月写成,6月作者把它寄给阿克萨科夫,希望他能在《莫斯科文集》上发表。阿克萨科夫非常喜欢这篇故事,认为"格拉西姆的形象是俄国人民的象征,体现了俄国人民惊人的力量和不可思议的温顺,他对故土的眷恋和返真归璞,他对自己在精神上的觉醒和七情六欲的淡漠"。但《木木》使官方大为惊恐,它被书刊检查机关查禁,两年后才得以发表。《木木》是作者屠洛涅夫根据母亲家中一名哑巴农奴安德烈的真实故事写的。小说的结尾是格拉西姆从农奴主家中逃回自己家乡,实际上安德烈始终忠心耿耿地为他的女主人效劳。由于屠格涅夫对结尾的这种处理,格拉西姆的形象获得巨大的完整性和高度的艺术概括。
