Description
"God forbid to see a Russian uprising—senseless and merciless," wrote Pushkin in “The Captain’s Daughter”… and he removed the chapter with those words from the novel. Those words are beautiful, but wrong. The Russian uprising is by no means senseless. Not always merciless either. And seeing it is a cruel impression—yet cleansing for the mind and the soul.
Yemelyan Pugachev’s revolt shook the Russian Empire in 1773–1775. For Russia, it was the era of absolutism and a world-leading position. But how did the Age of Enlightenment give birth to the Horde-like demands of the rebels? In the “Pugachevshchina” everything is very complicated. It had quite bizarre reasons and was heterogeneous to the point of fantasy. The book “Vils” by Alexey Ivanov is a search for the answer to the question: “What is the Pugachevshchina?”
You can also phrase the question differently: “What is Russia like from within?” The author proposes his own method of answering: “to overlay history onto the territory.” To travel now, in the 21st century, along the ancient roads of the great uprising—and try to understand who we are on this land.
