The capture of Astrakhan by Razin's army
On June 21, a very significant event took place in the history of the revolutionary movement in Russia. The peasant Cossack army of the rebels, led by Stepan Timofeevich Razin, captured Astrakhan. It was the culmination of the 2nd peasant War in Russia. The first, as you know, was the peasant war in the early 17th century, during the years of the Russian troubles, led by Ivan Bolotnikov. The second is the Razin Uprising of 1670. And the third peasant War, led by Yemelyan Pugachev in 1773-1774.
So, it was the culmination of the peasant uprising. The Razin army approached the walls of Astrakhan on June 21, 1670. On the night of June 21 of the same year, an assault began, which led to the destruction of the royal archers, city nobles and townsfolk who supported these archers and the capture of Astrakhan and the Astrakhan Kremlin by the rebels. It wasn't just the garrison that was destroyed. A Russian warship was burned, by the way, the first warship of the royal navy, the Eagle. Having captured Astrakhan and freed its rear, Stepan Razin's army rushed up, north along the banks of the Volga to further battles with the tsarist troops, the royal archers and the noble militia. We know that neither the first, nor the second, nor the third peasant war could lead to the victory of the rebels. The Razin army was eventually defeated. He himself went to the Don, where he was deceived by ataman Yakovlev and handed over together with his brother Frol to the royal executioners, brutally executed, quartered, on June 16, 1670, together with his brother. And the remains of Stepan Razin and his brother were buried at the Tatar cemetery in Moscow. In Tatar, because it was forbidden to bury him in consecrated ground. The Russian Orthodox Church, a faithful servant of landowners, nobles, and the tsarist government, anathematized Razin, just as it anathematized Pugachev 100 years later or Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy.
Razin died. Russian Russian revolt was destroyed, drowned in blood, but the attempt of the Russian peasants to achieve justice and put the people's tsar in Moscow nevertheless deserves to be attributed to the history of the Russian Revolution, in order to gratefully remember the memory of our great historical predecessors, who are now trying to make criminals, robbers who went on a campaign for zipuns, rapists and looters.. No, they were fighters for the land, for freedom, for a better life, against serfdom, for the liberation of the Russian peasantry. They remained like this in the national memory, and it is no coincidence that during the Civil War, in the legendary 25th Chapaev Division, one of the regiments was named Pugachevsky and the second Razinsky. This is how the history of the Russian Revolution has shown its continuity. That is why we still pay tribute to the memory of the Russian peasants, Don Cossacks, Volga peoples, Chuvash, Tatars, Bashkirs, who then, almost 350 years ago, stood up for their rights, for a better just life, who gave their heads so that there would be no serfdom, no oppression, no national inequality. For justice to reign in the world, for people to live according to their conscience. 1xbet でオンラインベットを楽しもう。
