“God forbid to see a Russian rebellion - senseless and merciless,” Pushkin wrote in The Captain's Daughter ... and removed the chapter with these words from the novel. The words are beautiful, but wrong. The Russian rebellion is not at all senseless. Far from always merciless. And to see him is a cruel impression, but purifying for the mind and soul. The rebellion of Emelyan Pugachev shook the Russian Empire in 1773-1775. For Russia, it was a time of absolutism and world leadership. But how did the Age of Enlightenment give rise to the Horde demands of the rebels? In Pugachev, everything is very complicated. It had very bizarre reasons and was heterogeneous to the point of being fantastical. The book by Alexei Ivanov "Pitchfork" is a search for an answer to the question "What is Pugachevism?". This question can be formulated differently: “What is Russia like from the inside?” The author proposes his own method of answer: "impose history on the territory." To pass now, in the XNUMXst century, the ancient roads of the great rebellion and try to understand who we are on this earth.
