The History of the Pugachev Rebellion

Are you ready to immerse yourself in an era of great upheavals, feeling the breath of history? Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin invites you to embark on an exciting journey into the past, unveiling the pages of one of the most dramatic... chapters of Russian history – the Peasant War of 1773-1775 led by the legendary Yemelyan Pugachev!
For three years, the author meticulously studied archival materials and documents. In 1833, he embarked on a trip to the sites of the rebellion, interviewing elderly eyewitnesses and collecting legends about Pugachev. The result of this research was the scholarly work "The History of Pugachev," whose censor was none other than the All-Russian Emperor Nicholas I, who demanded the book be renamed "The History of the Pugachev Rebellion."
First published in 1834.
