| Subjects | Peter the Great (Tsar) Russia. Army (Armiia) / History [Browse all] Strel'tsy Revolt, 1698 |
| Note | "In June 1698, while Peter I was abroad on the Ground Embassy, four strel'tsy regiments garnisoned on the Polish border rose and marched on Moscow; demanding a 'regulation of service'. Although historians of early modern Russia have overlooked this revolt, a re-examination of contemporary published and unpublished accounts calls for a reassessment. This article argues that the strel'tsy revolt was capable of unseating Peter and that only timely intervention by the newly-created guards regiments and their foreign mercenary dominated-officier corps ensured that the rebels did not reach Moscow. It analyses the critical impact of a Scottish mercenary general (Patrick Gordon) in shaping and implementing the response of the Russian military establishment towards the uprising. Lastly, it evaluates the impact of the suppression of the revolt upon the way in which Peter I perceived the modernization of the Moscovite political, economic and military system of governance." |
