Already the first years they confirmed its future characteristic. The uprising of Clop Kosolap is the first serious riot of the century that has begun. During this period, the formation of a new government took place in Rus'. The deceased Ivan the Terrible left the heir Fedor, who was distinguished by poor health. He did not rule long. The last son of Ivan IV Dmitry, died under mysterious circumstances.

After these events, Boris Godunov became the throne. As arguments, he referred to his kinship with the tsarist family.

This was the reason for the appearance of impostors claiming the throne. In the context of the struggle for power, the power of the state weakened. At the same time, hunger began in the country. This created the prerequisites for popular discontent. In a number of places among the peasants, protest sentiments began to arise, growing into foci of rebellion.

The government was not able to suppress them quickly. As a result, they began to flash with a high frequency. The reasons for the uprising, the indignation of the masses increased rapidly. The main reasons were the following in nature: increased feudal oppression. The establishment of serfdom at the legislative level took away all rights from the peasants. Their political oppression began.

Although she was canceled by him, however, even after his death, popular indignations remained. This was especially manifested during the Time of Troubles. Mass hunger and epidemics - years. The cause of the crop failure was early autumn frosts, when in September the snow finally fell on the soil.

The impoverishment of peasants on a huge scale. The prerequisites of the uprising all these reasons became the prerequisites for the uprising. They were as follows: in search of food, the peasants began to run away from the landowners. The government’s attempts to help the peasantry of distribution of bread only worsened the matter. Understanding the hopelessness of the situation, the landowners independently released the peasants with the calculation to return them back after stabilizing the situation.

The liberated peasants gathered in detachments and led a robbery. Roads on the roads began to be systematic. This strengthened the chaos in the state. The participants in the uprising participants of the uprising were the following segments of the population: slaves and peasants who left or fled from their owners. They united in detachments, the number of which reached several thousand.

Trained and well -armed boyars who were called military slaves. The number of the detachment led by Clapo was first a person. However, it was an organized group of people. New representatives constantly joined it. By August, their number had already reached 20 thousand. The goals of the rebellious goals of the rebellious people who were led by cotton were not a political nature.

This even noted the government, which called rebels robbers, and not criminals. It really was so. The rebellious people were not going to seize cities, shift the local government and establish control of the fortresses. The intention of rebellious people included the only desire to find food for themselves so as not to die. In this they were assisted by the population, which was in the same position and well understood the driving motives of the rebels.

Cotton's clap during the battle was injured.

In the future, he was captured and was executed. The results and consequences after the defeat many rebels were captured and executed without trial and investigation. In this case, the units managed to hide. The government initiated a thorough investigation of past events.The reason was that among the rebels were the servants of some boyars. The past uprising revealed a number of contradictions requiring immediate elimination.

Their slow resolution led to the fact that soon an even larger uprising began under the leadership of Bolotnikov. And he led the same slaves that was led by Clorus Cosolap.
