In France, aristocrats are distinguished by specific features. For example, by a surname with the prefix “de”, a ring on the little finger or a special place of birth. Also most often they are believing Catholics and have a large family. Russian representatives of the nobility do not have such obvious distinguishing features. But still a number of characteristics can be distinguished. Let’s consider the features of character and behavior.

Behavior, character, status

He was taught to read a lot and form his own opinion about the content.

Many people know the expression “blue blood”. Of course, the fluid running through the vessels of noble people has never been atypical color. The point is different: the skin of those who rarely go to the scorching sun and not accustomed to hard work, was pale and thin. That’s why the blood vessels were showing through.

To think about their ancestry should people with a graceful foot. The size usually does not exceed 37 centimeters. The rich, who traveled mainly in carriages and on horses, had small neat feet.
