The Pugachev rebellion.

 

We have seen that many Russians rejected application of Western ideas and practices in Russia, or else wanted to take them in directions that autocratic rulers did not approve. Drawing on lectures and readings, discuss in some detail at least TWO examples of such instances, making sure that one of them is the Pugachev rebellion. (Other choices could include resistance or plots under Peter I, the case of Alexander Radishchev, or the Decembrist rebellion). In each case, be very specific about what was being objected to and/or what policies were being advocated, on what grounds, and how the government responded to these challenges. Do you see any common themes in your cases, or is each different and unique?
