Pugatchev
still is in the memory of the people
of Kungur eve though Pugatchev himself wasn't
on the territory of the town. The war of
Pugatchev came to kungur - a little town that
didn't have anything to protect. By that time
the voyevoda of Kungur Miller and his
people got scared and secretely ran away
from the town. So, the merchants of Kungur
organized the protection of the town. The
leaders were Filipp Krotov and Emelyan Chlebnikov.
In memory of our victory the icon was
painted in the holy name of three saint
people: Vasiliy Velikiy, Grigirij Bogoslov, Ioann Zlatoust
and others. 100 years after this battle of
Kungur with the people of Pugatchev merchants
decided to open the memorial on the
central square of the town.
