4. What has changed in the situation of the townspeople? Compare their situation with the situation of the peasants.

    Analyze the above fragment and determine the author’s attitude towards Russia. Support your opinion with fragments of text. What does the author accuse the Russian people of? What does he see as the reasons for these shortcomings? Do you agree with the author? Support your answer with facts you know.
The reason that at the present time many Russians do nothing out of respect, but only out of fear, is the harsh rule, because of which they are disgusted with life itself, and even more so with honor. And, undoubtedly, if the German people themselves or any other people had such a harsh government, then their morals would be the same or even worse. It is not for nothing that I say the worst, for they surpass us in intelligence and cunning, and the one whose mind is sharper can come up with more crimes and deceptions. Because of this, such disgusting morals arose among this people that other peoples consider Russians to be deceivers, traitors, *Yuri Krizhanich(1618-1683) - Croatian scientist, writer. A supporter of the idea of ​​Slavic unity, the main role in the implementation of which was assigned to Russia. From 1659 he lived in Moscow, put forward a program of reforms in the Moscow state, from 1661 he was exiled to Tobolsk, and in 1676 he left Russia. His treatise “Politics” is a valuable testimony about Russia in the 17th century.

merciless robbers and murderers, foul-mouthed people and slobs. Where does this come from? Because every place is full of taverns, and monopolies, and prohibitions, and tax farmers, and kissers, and seizers, and customs officers, and secret informers, so that people are tied up everywhere and everywhere and cannot do anything of their own free will and not can freely use what they have obtained through their labor and sweat. They must do everything and trade secretly and silently, with fear, trembling and deceit, they must hide from these numerous servants, robbers and villains, or rather, executioners. And these kissers and tormentors of peasants themselves, not receiving sufficient payment, cannot act justly, but need forces them to seek self-interest and take gifts from thieves.

Thus, people, accustomed to doing everything secretly and like thieves, with fear and deception, forget about all honor, lose military courage and become rude, discourteous and sloppy. They do not know how to value honor and do not know the differences between people, and from the very first words they usually ask any stranger: “Do you have a wife?” And the second question: “What royal salary do you receive, how much property do you have, are you rich?” They are not ashamed if they are seen naked in the bathhouse. And if they need someone’s mercy, then they disgustingly disgrace themselves, and humiliate, and beg, and beat their foreheads to the floor until they are disgusted.” Document No. 56 From “The Life of Archpriest Avvakum”*: about the church reform of Patriarch Nikon Questions and tasks for document No. 56:

Stand firmly in faith and unshakably, do not be afraid of human fear, do not be horrified, but sanctify the Lord our God in your hearts. When the evil serpent [Nikon] was patriarch, he began to punish orthodoxy, commanding people to be baptized with three fingers, and to bow down to the waist in the church during Great Lent. We, our fathers and brothers, did not remain silent and began to denounce the heretic. And yet the greyhound dog Nikon, the enemy, intended to paint [icons] alive, arranging everything in the Fryazhian way, that is, in the German way. The holy images changed all church rules and actions: and if only dear Christians wouldn’t feel bitter! Everyone will burn for Christ Jesus, but they won’t listen to you dogs. And this is what all true believers must do: burn, and in the future we will live forever in Christ Jesus.<...>He [Nikon] tormented us a lot and sent everyone into exile. Bishop Pavel Kolomna, tormented, and burned with fire in the Novgorod region; Daniel, the archpriest of Kostroma, was tormented a lot, and in Astrakhan he was killed in an earthen prison. He took 60 people from me at the all-night vigil, tormented and beat and cursed me, kept them in prison, sent about 20 thousand to Siberia - and dragged them back and forth for 12 years. And the Solovetsky Monastery has been under siege for 7 years from the Nikonians. In Moscow, Elder Avraamiy and Isaiah Saltykov were burned in a fire. And other zealots of the law gather in courtyards with their wives and children, and are burned by fire of their own will. The noblewoman Feodosya Prokopyevna Morozova and her sister Evdokia Prokopyevna Princess Urusova in Borovsk, buried alive in the ground, in many torments and tortures, and houses destroyed, hungry and starving. secular and ecclesiastical authorities were sentenced together with his accomplices to be burned in Pustozersk.

"NEWSPAPER", No. 10 (24.I.1671) From Riga on December 25, 1670. The rumors circulating about the victory of the Grand Duke of Moscow over his rebellious subjects were not true. The latest letters from this country [Muscovy] state that the leader of the rebels continues to achieve such success that there is reason to fear a real revolution, especially since, as they say, many of the boyars from among the most noble people of the kingdom also rebelled. "NEWSPAPER", No. 25(28.II. 1671) From Warsaw, January 24, 1671. Letters received from this country [Muscovy] confirm the success of the rebel leader, who, in addition to Astrakhan and Kazan, captured almost fifty other important cities. To this is added,

that Dolgorukov, the commander of the Grand Duke's troops, having recovered from a dangerous illness, is gathering a strong army to oppose the rebels, whose number has reached 200,000 people. They also say that the Persian king is in agreement with them [the rebels] and promised to send them help from the Caspian Sea.

"NEWSPAPER", No. 42 (extraordinary issue dated 10.IV. 1671, containing a continuation of Polish affairs in a letter from Warsaw) ... [The Grand Duke of Moscow] is in considerable difficulty due to the ongoing rebellion in his possessions, which some of his neighbors seem to want to take advantage of in order to take revenge for not were able to conclude no agreements with him. There is also a rumor that the Persian king is at one with the leader of the rebels and promised to send him help; however, the news received in this regard is not very reliable, and at present there is no clarity regarding the progress of these affairs. At the beginning of last month it was reported that the rebels, developing their successes, forced the Grand Duke, who was afraid of a complete revolution in the country, to offer their leader an agreement and that he, intoxicated with his victories, refused to talk about it until many of his daring plans had been carried out. demands that you may already know about, namely: that he be recognized as the title of Prince of Astrakhan and the rest of the lands of which he became the owner; so that he would be paid two million in gold to distribute to the troops; that he be given twenty persons whom he names, and that the patriarch, who was removed several years ago, be restored. In conclusion, he declared that he would continue his victorious campaign as long as fortune favored him. The Grand Duke, frightened by such a daring answer and feeling insecure in Moscow, was preparing to leave and seek refuge in Arkhangelsk on the White Sea, where many merchants of different nations were also going to follow him, taking with them their most valuable property. Then it was reported that the highest Muscovite officers went to fight him [Razin] and that he defeated them and, easily continuing what he started, annexed several other principalities to the already conquered Kazan kingdom. Many office
