'''Sir Paul Vinogradoff''' ({{lang-ru|Па́вел Гаври́лович Виногра́дов}}, transliterated: ''Pavel Gavrilovich Vinogradov''; [[November 30|November 18 (30)]], [[1854]], [[Kostroma]], [[Russia]]–[[December 19|December 19]], [[1925]], [[Paris]], France) was a highly reputable Anglo-Russian [[historian]]-[[medievalist]].
He became professor of history at the [[University of Moscow]], but his zeal for the spread of education brought him into conflict with the authorities, and consequently he was obliged to leave Russia. Having settled in [[England]], Vinogradoff brought a powerful and original mind to bear upon the social and economic conditions of early England, a subject which he had already begun to study in Moscow.
His ''Villainage in England'' (1892) is perhaps the most important book written on the peasantry of the [[feudal]] age and the village community in England; it can only be compared for value with [[Frederic William Maitland|FW Maitland]]'s ''[[Domesday Book]] and Beyond''. In masterly fashion Vinogradoff here shows that the [[villein]] of [[Norman dynasty|Norman]] times was the direct descendant of the [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] freeman, and that the typical Anglo-Saxon settlement was a free community, not a manor, the position of the freeman having steadily deteriorated in the centuries just around the [[Norman Conquest]]. The status of the villein and the conditions of the manor in the 12th and 13th centuries are set forth with a legal precision and a wealth of detail which shows its author, not only as a very capable historian, but also as a brilliant and learned jurist.
Almost equally valuable was Vinogradoff's essay on “Folkland” in vol. viii. of the ''English Historical Review'' (1893), which proved for the first time the real nature of this kind of land. Vinogradoff followed up his ''Villainage in England'' with ''The Growth of the Manor'' (1905) and ''English Society in the Eleventh Century'' (1908), works on the lines of his earlier book.
In [[1903]] he was appointed [[Corpus]] professor of jurisprudence in the [[university of Oxford]], and subsequently became a fellow of the [[British Academy]]. He received honorary degrees from the principal universities, was made a member of several foreign academies and was appointed honorary professor of [[history]] at Moscow.
