Stanislav Molodykh
Pugachevshchina
#14
Artist Stanislav Molodykh created the painting Pugachevshchina based on historical events. They called Pugachevshchina the rebellion of the Yaik Cossacks against the power of Catherine II. It lasted from 1773 to 1775 and grew into the whole civil war. Escaped Don cossack Yemelyan Pugachev pretending to be Emperor Peter III, husband of Catherine II, ousted from the throne after a palace coup, led the rebellion.

In the picture Molodykh showed a formation of peasant militias. Some of them are painted in close-up, and part of the crowd dissolves at the horizon line: this is how the artist conveyed the large number of the rebels.
The painter placed Pugachev himself in the upper left corner of the canvas. The leader of the uprising astride a white horse resembles a commander observing a parade.
#16
From the foreground it is clear that all the militias are dressed and armed in different ways. Among them there are Kirghiz and Kazakhs in national costumes, peasants with pitchforks, flails and home-made slings, horsemen in armor with spears. Two of them drag a cannon on a high carriage with large wheels. In the line-up one can also see a bull harnessed to a wagon: obviously, it carries provisions or spare weapons.
#17
In the centre of the picture, a man in a red sheepskin coat astride a black horse is depicted. He holds a banner with the image of the Savior Not Made by Hands – one of the most revered icons in Orthodoxy. According to the ancient tradition Russian troops fought under such a banner: the Savior Not Made by Hands was considered a symbol of victory and the patron saint of soldiers who defended their homeland.
#18
For this work the artist chose dark cold shades that convey its anxious mood. Night shadows lie on the white snow, people merge toward the horizon into a flat dark mass, and there are blue-black thunderclouds in the sky above them.
Stanislav Molodykh remade the painting Pugachevshchina several times. Over the course of two years he created many charcoal drafts and sketches on separate small canvases for it. Some of them are kept in the funds of the Belgorod State Art Museum.
