Streltsy, Revolt of the

Years: 1698 - 1699

The Streltsy Uprising of 1698 is an uprising of the Moscow Streltsy regiments.

Some Russian historians believe that the Streltsy uprising was a reactionary rebellion against progressive innovations of Peter the Great.

Others suggest that it was a riot against the yoke of the serfdom oppression, military service hardships and harassment.

“History is a vast early warning system.”

― Norman Cousins, Saturday Review, April 15, 1978
