Please elaborate on the very strange existence (or concept) of "landless serfs" associated with serfdom in Russia. Is it true that the concept of "landless serfs" is what distinguishes serfdom in Russia from that in the West?

I heard about the very horrific existence of "serfs owned by serfs" in Russia during the serfdom era. How were they treated?
