In whose mind could there be more inconsistencies, if not Tsarskaya? Oh laws! Your wisdom is often found only in your style! It's hard to say when this expression would have sounded more outrageous - nowadays or in the 18th century. But the fact remains that precisely this and many equally daring readers discovered in the work of Alexander Radishchev "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow". The main reader was Catherine II, who called the author "a worse rebel than Pugachev." Radishchev was sentenced to death for "attacking the sovereign's health" and treason. At the last moment, Catherine II replaced the execution with exile. On November 2, 1790, Radishchev, convicted of writing, bound and without warm clothes, was taken by Balders from the capital to Siberia - according to the caustic empress's comment, "to mourn the sad fate of the peasantry."
