A kholop (Russian: холо́п, IPA: [xɐˈlop]) was a type of feudal serf (dependent population) in Kievan Rus' in the 9th and early 12th centuries.[1] Their legal status in Russia was essentially the same as slaves.[2](p 576) They were sold as any other property of their master until the emancipation reform of 1861.[citation needed] The term kholop was excluded from official use in 1724, but it remains in vernacular use as a type of insult.[citation needed]
