It would possibly depend upon your definition of "Serfdom", but I believe the 1917 revolution and subsequent overthrow of the Tsar effectively ended Serfdom in Russia by any definition. The pre-revolutionary Russian economy was heavily dependent on free labour, which was augmented by exiled prisoner labour. Earlier attempts at freeing the Serfs during the Romanov Dynasty ended in unpleasantness and the Serfs not being freed.

In the nineteenth century, serfdom was a prominent human rights issue in Russia. Serfs were essentially enslaved to landowners, leading to exploitation, lack of freedom, and harsh living conditions.

She expanded serfdom.
Yes, Catherine the Great of Russia significantly expanded serfdom during her reign. Although she initially expressed some interest in reforming the institution, her policies increasingly favored the landowning nobility, which led to the further entrenchment of serfdom. By the end of her reign, the number of serfs had increased, and their legal status became more restrictive, solidifying their dependence on landowners. This expansion of serfdom contributed to the socio-economic disparities in Russia that would later play a role in the country's social upheaval.
