Preface: Individually, in small groups, people develop into primitive tribes. Based on various factors—geographical, climatic, etc.—people unite into nations to resist external aggression. The united nations create governance systems—states—and governance supersystems—empires. An empire implies that different peoples and countries are under common rule. Any event must be considered in the context of other events occurring at the same time. If an event is taken out of context, a lot can happen. You've probably heard of this method of waging war: divide, pit, and conquer? There's another little-known method, and it's as follows: To win a war, especially a long one, you must by any means possible transfer the war to enemy territory, that is, instigate a rebellion, mutiny, or civil war within the country. Any war drains a state's resources; people become war-weary; the longer the war goes on, the more dissatisfied there are, and the greater the dissatisfaction itself. Now let's begin to draw parallels. During Yemelyan Pugachev's rebellion, which lasted from 1773 to 1775, Russia was waging a long war with the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from 1768 to 1774. That is, by the beginning of Pugachev's rebellion, the war with the Ottomans had already been going on for five years. When Lenin visited Russia in April 1917, the country was participating in World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. That is, by 1917, the war had already been going on for three years. This war was then called the Imperialist War—that is, a war of empires. An interesting fact: when the so-called "allies" persuaded Russia to enter World War I, they promised to recapture Constantinople in the event of victory. During wartime, the state concentrates its military forces on the battlefield against external adversaries, while the rear becomes much more exposed. Recall the discontent and fatigue from war, the need to work longer hours, and wage cuts; and all it takes is one trained, educated intellectual to rouse a tired and discontented people to revolt and cause a mutiny in the rear. A little background Siberia and the Urals at that time had been destroyed by the catastrophe, and the lands were being repopulated. Tula had experimental weapons production, while the Urals and Siberia had always had large-scale production, thanks to the proximity of large ore reserves. In the Urals and Siberia, since the time of Demidov, old factories had been restored and new ones built. People were needed to restore, build, and operate the factories. Craftsmen were sent to Siberia, while convicts were exiled for heavy labor. Yemelyan Pugachev staged his rebellions not just anywhere: not in the capital, not in the Don steppes, not in the forests, but, coincidentally, in the Urals, where military-industrial factories, mines, and quarries are concentrated. Let me provide a map of Yemelyan Pugachev's hiking trip. If we delve deeper into the history of the rebellion, we'll see that Yemelyan's rebels somehow showed an "unhealthy interest" in factories, seizing and destroying equipment at the plants, as well as the mines and shafts that supplied the factories with ore. A few quotes: Factory workers opened the gates for Pugachev's men, smashed factory offices and equipment, and joined the army of the self-proclaimed "emperor" by the thousands. Rebels in the area of ​​the Zlatoust Plant stole all sorts of tools and supplies from three nearby mines and hacked to death the mine superintendent and foreman. The rebels broke the dam floodgates, flooding the smelting furnaces and workshops, putting the factories out of action for extended periods. A total of 89 factories were damaged. Of these, 25 were burned and completely looted, and 33 were looted by the rebels, who stole tools, equipment, and finished products. Another 27 factories suffered losses due to the need to suspend production and spend significant resources on their defense. The rebels often targeted engineers, craftsmen, and those involved in organizing production, making it difficult to restart them.
