Biography Pugachev Emelyan Ivanovich

Links “So the rebellion, begun by a handful of naughty Cossacks, intensified by the unforgivable negligence of the authorities and shaking the state from Siberia to Moscow and from the Kuban to the Murom forests. Perfect calm has not yet been touched. Panin and Suvorov remained in the pacified provinces for a year, affirming a weakened rule in them, renewing cities and fortresses and eradicating the latest sectors of the suppressed rebellion.

” It is believed that it was in this village a hundred years before that another famous rebel was born - the leader of the wide Cossack performance by Stepan Razin. The exact year of the birth of Emelyan has not been documented. Most historians believe that the date of his birth should be considered a year. His godfather was a Cossack "on the fatherland of Ignatiev, and with the nickname Ermolov, but as a name, she does not remember." The godfather was the priest of the Stanichnaya Church "Kazan Virgin Mary" Timofei Avdeev; He also made a rite of baptism of little Emelyan.

The Pugachevs lived in the Binoma for a long time, inheriting their surname from the nickname of Grandfather Agelyan - Mikhail Pugach. In the investigation in November, Pugachev said that his “big”, that is, the elder brother Dementia lived in the same village, but “with him in the section, in his house.” Dementia and his wife Nastasya had two sons and two daughters.

Very little is known about the childhood of Emelyan Pugachev. During the interrogation in the Yaitsky town, he said: “Until the age of seventeen, I lived all with my father as other Cossack youngsters in idleness.” From the testimony of his first wife, we even know a little about his children's entertainment.
