Yes, his troops have been defeated in Ukraine, and relations with the West have become the most comprehensive since 1962. And during a television conference, according to journalists, Putin decided to spread one teacher about the uprising of Omelian Pugachev in Russia in 1773-1775. When she began to list the causes of the uprising, Putin joked that her answer was similar to the words of a diplomat of the Russian Foreign Ministry. "He imagined himself a king," Putin said about Pugachev.

According to him, the main reason was the weakness of the central government. Recall that at that moment the Russian Empire was led by Catherine II. The material states that Putin has repeatedly tried to strengthen the Russian state after the 1990s. However, many critics of the Putin regime, including imprisonment, were imprisoned by the oppositionist Alexei Navalny, are convinced that the Kremlin's head built a fragile system.

Pugachev's uprising is the rebellion of the Ural Cossacks, which grew into a full -scale war of Cossacks, peasants and peoples of the Urals and the Volga region with the government of Empress Catherine II. The uprising failed. Pugachev himself was publicly executed in January 1775 in the Red Square of Moscow.
