long-suffering Russian people and patient.But never once, but any patience comes to an end.And an angry crowd of the people, organized a strong personality, like a tsunami sweeps on its way everything.Such, in the history of Russia were peasant wars that led Emelyan Pugachev, Stepan Razin and Ivan Bolotnikov.
Bolotnikov Uprising took place to be in 1906 - 1907, which began in the south of the Moscow State.The reason for the performance were the rumors that one instead of False Dmitry was killed by a completely different person.These rumors extremely shaken position Shumsky, giving opposing a semblance of legality.
But in fact, there has been an uprising Bolotnikov quite objective reasons.Just people became unbearable to live anymore as they are forced to state "tip": Stressed beyond all measures of oppression of feudal serfdom, the peasants doing at all powerless, hunger and poverty have done their job.
Everything else entered added Boris Godunov "summer time limit" and, as stated above, political instability in the country.In short, the state has developed a revolutionary situation, when more peasants could no longer endure, and "top" still did not know how to manage in new ways.So what was the nature of the uprising Bolotnikov antiboyarskuyu war.
calling themselves warlord supposedly not killed prince, Bolotnikov in northern Putivle gathered around him a raging, tortured iniquity peasants told them about the imminent appearance of Tsarevich Dmitry.Helped him sympathetic to the uprising by the name of the prince and the governor of Chernigov Shahovsky Telyatevsky.They have made it possible to gather a huge army of disgruntled impostor who opposed the violence and injustice of the national.The uprising Bolotnikov took on the character of people's war.
Shumsky, trying to stay on the throne, sent troops to meet Bolotnikov Trubetzkoy and Vorotynsky headed.But Troubetzkoy and Vorotynsky were beaten peasant army, the first Kromy, and the second under Yelets.In September, the uprising Bolotnikov came to Kaluga, where the beat as the main forces of the army Shumsky.
Kolomna, which was in the path of the rebels to Moscow was besieged.Posad farmers managed to attack, however, the Kremlin itself immediately grab failed.Then Bolotnicov ordered to leave there a small part of his army, and the basic composition headed to Moscow.
October bolotnikovtsy besieged Moscow.In November, for them the army joined the Cossacks led Muromtsa.But suddenly gone over to the enemy armies of Lyapunov out of Ryazan.This marked the beginning of the delamination on the rebel nobles on the one hand, and the Cossacks - the other.And in December, has bolotnikovtsy began to suffer defeat after another.
People's Army in part went to Kaluga - here he remained with the rebels Bolotnikov, and partly to the Tula - with Muromtsem headed.In Kaluga, they were surrounded by soldiers of the royal army.Heavy blockade began days.With the huge losses the rebels managed to break through to Tula.
Historical notes describe the uprising Bolotnikov briefly.However, in artistic literary works, films and paintings, written and delivered to these facts, we can see how much horror, pain, death brought the war.
Tula was the last city where the battle took place, and the rebels of the royal army.The royal army, blocking the river Upa dam could cause a great flood in Tula.As a result, bolotnikovtsy defeated.
Since Shumsky allegedly legend vowed the rebels agreed to surrender, that he "did not shed blood," that the king acted very cleverly.He really bloodless punish the ringleaders of the revolt: Ivan Bolotnikov he referred to Kargopol, where he was blindfolded and drowned.Ileyku Muromtsa hanged, and the magistrates Shakhovsky forcibly tonsured as a monk.
Historians believe that the uprising was defeated because the rebels were disorganized, as the royal army.Huge minus was also heterogeneous composition of the rebel army.
