Pugachev's Rebellion

The main peasant grievances that Pugachev tried to exploit in his decrees included slavery, taxes, the inability to own land, and the oppression of judges and nobles.[1] To redress these wrongs, Pugachev proclaimed a two-part solution. First, the peasants would be given their freedom, including freedom from paying levies, soul taxes, and other taxes that the nobles saw fit to levy against them.[2] The peasants woudl be allowed to own land but would not be required to pay rent or any money against the purchase price; in other words, they would be given the land free of charge.[3] In addition to land, they would be allowed to own forests, salt lakes, and various other geographical entities in the same manner.

The second part of Pugachev's decrees dealt with the targets of the peasant revolution-the nobles that were, as Pugachev put it, "opposing our power, disturbing the empire, and despoiling the peasantry."[4] He declares that these nobles shall be "caught, executed, and hanged, and treated just in the same fashion as they, lacking any Christian feeling, dealt with you, the peasants
