Ivan Bolotnikov led the so-called Bolotnikov rebellion (1606 – 1607) against Tsar Vasily Shuisky. That rebellion was the largest and most powerful uprising in Russian history prior to the twentieth century and has often been compared to the rebellions led by Stepan Razin and Emelian Pugachev.
Ivan Bolotnikov, a nobleman who became a serf, fled to the Don River to join Cossacks to organize an insurrection against the tsar.
The devastation and increasing oppression led to the first all-Russian peasant revolt under Ivan Bolotnikov, a serf who had served time as a galley slave. His peasant army marched from the south towards Moscow, supported by Cossacks.
