The first systematic study of the participation of Russia's urban population in the Peasant War of 1773-1775 led by Yemelian Pugachev - the largest armed uprising in eighteenth-century Russian history. Prior historiography had focused almost exclusively on peasants, Cossacks, and non-Russian peoples as the principal social actors in the rebellion; Kurmacheva shifts the analytical lens to the towns of the Ural, Cisurals, and Volga basin, examining artisans, petty traders, laborers, posad residents, and the merchant elite across all three phases of the revolt. She reconstructs the social and economic structure of the towns in question in the pre-rebellion decades, examines the nakazy (reform petitions) submitted by urban communities to Catherine II's Legislative Commission of 1767 as evidence of pre-existing social tensions, and traces the varied urban responses to Pugachev's manifestos and decrees. Several cities of the Ural and Volga regions temporarily fell to the insurgents - among them Sarapul, Saratov, Penza, Troitsk, and Iaitskii Gorodok - while others (Ekaterinburg, Orenburg, Ufa, Cheliabinsk, Kungur) held out as centers of imperial authority. Drawing on a substantial archival base, the study reveals the complex and differentiated urban engagement with the rebellion and Pugachev's deliberate effort to broaden the social base of the uprising by incorporating the urban poor. The responsible editor, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Preobrazhenskiy (1921-2003), Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was himself the leading specialist on the social and economic history of the Ural and Siberian regions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Issued in Moscow in the final year of the Soviet Union at a print run of only 1,800 copies, the monograph reached primarily institutional library collections and is now uncommon outside Russia.
