Questions: On Vykupnaia operatsiia (1861) and TOC for Tolstye zhurnaly

[Nora Favorov]

Dear Friends,
I am preparing notes for an 1863 Russian novel and need some help.
(1)  Can anyone recommend a good account (book or article) of the mechanics
of the first stages of the emancipation?  I would like to better understand
the vykupnaia operatsiia and exactly what  "vremennoobiazannye krest'iane"
were (in the usage of the time).  The history books on my shelves are
several decades old.  I presume there are new and improved accounts of this
period out there.  I'd appreciate recommendations.
(2)  I see that an "ukazatel' soderzhanie" exists for Otechestvennye zapiski
for the years 1868-1884.  Has any kind of an index of the contents of this
or other tolstye zhurnaly of the mid-sixties ('63-'68) been compiled, or is
anyone working on digitizing these journals?

Best regards,
Nora
