Yemelyan Pugaçov ile kim çıktı?

Yemelyan Pugaçov (Rusça: Емельян Иванович Пугачёв / Yemelyan Ivanovich Pugachev, d. 1740/42 - ö. 21 Ocak 1775), II. Katerina döneminde Rus İmparatorluğu'na karşı ayaklanan Kazak lider.

Rusya'nın Orta Asya'yı istilası karşısında öteden beri rahatsız olan Kazaklar, zaman zaman Ruslara karşı ayaklanıyordu.

Çar III. Petro'nun şaibeli ölümü üzerine Kazak beylerinden Pugaçov harekete geçti. Kendisinin çar olduğunu, suikastten kurtularak Asya'ya kaçtığını iddia etti ve çevresine topladığı güçlerle bir isyan başlattı.

Rus ordusunun Osmanlılarla savaşıyor olması isyancıların işini kolaylaştırdı. Kazaklardan büyük destek alan Pugaçov, Rus birliklerini yenerek Kazan'ı ele geçirdi. Moskova ve St. Petersburg bile tehdit altındaydı.

Ancak Ruslar çabuk toparlandılar ve Osmanlı ile barış yaptıktan sonra tüm güçlerini Orta Asya'ya sürdüler. Pugaçov yenildi ve yakalanarak bir meydanda idam edildi.

Pugaçov, Rusya tarihindeki en korkunç isyancılardan biri olarak anılır. Kazaklar içinse büyük bir halk kahramanıdır.

Tatiana Grigorievna Kharlova (1756–1773), was a Russian noblewoman killed during the Pugachev's Rebellion. Her death attracted much attention.

She was the daughter of colonel Grigory Mironovich Elagin, commandant of the Tatishchevo Fortress, and Anisya Semyonovna. In 1773, she married Zakhar Ivanovich Kharlov (1734–1773), commandant of the Nizhneozernoye Fortress.

On 22 September 1773, informed that the rebel army of Yemelyan Pugachev was marching toward Nizhneozernoye, Kharlova and her younger brother Nikolai was sent by her spouse back to her parents, where they were thought to be safer. Four days later, the Nizhneozernoye Fortress was taken by Pugachev and her husband executed. On 27 September, Pugachev attacked and took the Tatishchevo Fortress as well. Her parents were executed, with her father reportedly skinned, while Tatiana and her little brother was initially spared and taken prisoner. Contemporary sensational propaganda claimed that Kharlova was raped before the eyes of her husband, but this was evidently not true. She was however evidently taken as a concubine by Pugachev. On 4 November, Tatiana Grigorievna Kharlova was killed, along with her brother, by some Cossacks in the retinue of Pugachev, reportedly because they felt that Pugachev had been too lenient toward her, "loved her" too much, and feared the consequences of any future testimony she could give. In a testimony given the following year, Pugachev claimed that his soldiers had killed Kharlova because he loved her too much, and that he lamented what had happened.

The fate of Kharlova was mentioned by contemporary sensational press and attracted much attention during the Pugachev's Rebellion. It was famously described by Alexander Pushkin in Pugachev's history.
