God save us from seeing a Russian revolt, senseless and merciless
— Alexander Pushkin, The Captain‘s Daughter (1836)
On 21 January 1775, self-declared as Tsar Peter III, impostor Yemelyan Pugachev was decapitated and quartered in front of Moscow crowd in the heart of the Russian Empire.
During the Peasants’ War 1773-1775, which was lead by Ural Cossack Pugachev, tsarist Russia encountered the saturnalia of crowd lynching directed to both peasants and nobles, destroying of Ural and Volga settlements and crimes against Russians committed by ethnic minorities.
On the contrary, the leader of the rebellion vowed to abolish serfdom which seemed to be an eternal fake pledge of insurgents who always tried to set up a dictatorship.
In fact, the attempts to earn full liberation, redistribute private property and build better social order by fire and sword are a cunning manipulation in order to strengthen «reformers» reign. Such endeavors are always followed by the streams of blood and intensive dehumanization.
