[Family History]

The land measure "Dassjitanen" is probably a desyatina, which is 2400 square
sazhen. Sazhen is an old Russian measure of length equal to 2.13 meters.
Therefore a desyatina is equal to 2.7 acres.

A couple of other ones are that there are 3 arshin per sazhen, then 500 sazhen
per verst. Verst is an old Russian measure which is 3500 feet.
