The special position of millers in the village was influenced by their skills and extensive professional knowledge.

The specific nature of their profession contributed to the formation of miller as a separate socio-professional group. It is also important to note that the profession of miller was passed down from father to son.

It is clear that in the past, miller's played an important role in the village's life. They enjoyed great authority among the other residents. This was reflected in their being called upon to act as witnesses in trade transactions or inheritance cases.

They were often entrusted with the role of village headman. Miller's were also members of parish councils. In addition to managing mills, they also owned agricultural land.

General Mills is recalling nearly 736,000 Pillsbury bread rolls because they may contain glass, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this week. The recall includes 3,080 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls “Hard Roll Dough,” each containing 180 rolls, for a total of 554,400 rolls, and 1,260 cases of Pillsbury Bread Rolls “Kaiser Roll Dough,” each containing 144…

The folk narrative tradition, in an effort to restore justice, of course, created a positive image of the miller, contrasting him with the image of the miser, the swindler, the devil's accomplice, and the oppressor of the poor. In the French version of the fairy tale "The Emperor and the Abbot," the cunning miller helps a small village priest who is being oppressed by the bishop.

A clergyman who holds a high position in the church hierarchy threatens his subordinate that he will be dismissed if he does not appear not on foot and not horseback, not dressed and not undressed. Moreover, he must tell the bishop what he is thinking and how much the moon weighs. Then the miller, naked except for a net, rides his mule to the bishop's palace and says to the bishop:

“I am riding a mule. Therefore, I have not come on foot or on horseback. I am wrapped in a large net, so I am neither naked nor clothed. I must tell you what you are thinking. You think that I am the parish priest of Castera, but I am only the miller of La Hiller. I must tell you how much the moon weighs. The moon has four quarters. Therefore, it weighs one pound. If I am lying, prove me wrong."

Amazed by the miller's cunning, the bishop forgets his resentment towards the priest.

There is also a story about a greedy miller who kept the best flour for himself as payment for grinding, and gave the coarse flour to the peasants. One winter evening, out of boredom, he made a doll out of rags, played sexual games with it, and fed it porridge with lard.

Enlivened by these sacrileges, the devil's offspring began to demand more and more food. When the miller ran out of flour, he tried to make the frozen wheel turn to grind the grain. It didn't work out because the doll was sitting on the wheel and prevented it from rotating.

In one of the legends, the miller's wife, who is unfaithful to her husband, appears as a dangerous witch. In the form of a cat, she kills every farmhand who resists her advances.
