Definitions
A former space station name; also a traditional Russian village community.
Word origin
Borrowing from Russian мир (mir, “community, village commune; peace; world”).
Used in a sentence
“[T]he constitution of the village […] was a subject which specially interested me, because I was aware that the Mir is the most peculiar of Russian institutions.”
“The mir was the only means to prevent this, and mir meant serfdom under another name. The landowners disposed of their land, or of so much as was required to support the peasants, not to individuals but to the mir.”
