Razin's Rebellion - Razin's Rebellion

Japanese: ラージンの乱 - ラージンのらん

A peasant revolt that occurred in Russia in 1670-71. The Cossacks (approximately 20,000 people) living in the Don River basin were given military supplies and grain in exchange for preventing foreign invasions of the southern frontier of the Muscovite state, and were in a semi-autonomous state. Their acts of plunder along the Black Sea and Caspian Sea coasts were tolerated, and fugitives from cities and rural areas were not repatriated from the Don. However, with the establishment of serfdom in the mid-17th century and the wars with Poland and Sweden (1654-67), the number of fugitives fleeing to the Don rapidly increased.

1670‐71年に起きたロシアの農民反乱。ドン川流域のコサック(約2万人)は，モスクワ国家の南部辺境への異民族の侵攻を防ぐ代りに，軍事物資，穀物を供与され，なかば自治的な状態にあった。黒海，カスピ海沿岸での彼らの略奪行為は黙認され，ドンからは都市や農村からの逃亡民も送還されなかった。だが17世紀半ばの農奴制の確立とポーランド，スウェーデンとの戦争(1654‐67)のなかで，ドンへの逃亡民は急増した。
