The Uprising of Bolotnikov,[1] in Russian historiography called the Peasant War under the Leadership of Ivan Bolotnikov (Peasant Uprising),[2][3] was a major peasant, Cossack, and noble uprising of 1606–1607 led by Ivan Bolotnikov and several other leaders. At the time of the highest point of the uprising (the Siege of Moscow in 1606), more than 70 cities in the south and center of Russia were under the control of the rebels.
