During the period of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, autocracy of Muscovite Russia was consolidated. In the process of her consolidation, the middle service gentry (pomechchik), who had provided service to the state in return of land, played a significant role. They functioned as military, political, and social foundations for the regime's stability. Nevertheless, household was the orderly and economic basis for the middle service gentry. This research attempts to discuss, through their popular book ”Domostroi,” their viewpoints concerning household, and how they maintained home order and home economy as well. While households had been disintegrated and replaced by the organizations of state as well as civil society during the period of the 16(superscript th)-17(superscript th) centuries in the west, Russian households preserved many characters of those of Middle Age. Russian households were not only biological and residential units, but also working and consumption units. The Households aimed to establish an authoritarian, patriarchal, and harmonious order. They also endeavored to secure wealth and daily needs. It meant that Russian households were a kind of self-sufficient autarky. While the dominant power of household had a contribution to promoting the Russian autocracy, it hindered the development of modem state, civil society and market economy in Russia. Owing to the relative scarcity of resources, the middle service gentry had to concentrate much concerns and time on the households. They depended too much on service land to develop individual stands. In a word, Russian middle service gentry were involved so much in their home welfare that they ignored public affairs, including those of the level of central government. It cost them a lot, since they could not put the autocracy under their restraint, as their compeers did in western states. Nevertheless, the efforts they made to prosper their household did contribute to stabilize the autocratic tsariate.
