Terror

in the campaign “Suppression of the Uprising of Murat Kuchukov and Terror against the Indigenous Population (1708)”

The government of the Tsardom of Muscovy used demonstrative brutal executions to psychologically break the Indigenous population: historian Ya. Z. Akhmadov records that the captured leader of the uprising was "hanged by a rib on a hook in accordance with Peter I's order to P.M. Apraksin ('carry out a cruel death penalty')"[1].
