Famous Kursk Robbers

For a long time, Kursk Territory was the "land of the promised" for numerous shackles of robbers and robbers, the reason for which it was its border position, the rare population and relative weakness of the central government. This "Ukrainian" up to the first quarter of the XVIII century. Provided "remote good items" a wide opportunity to make their countless feats in the Kursk expanses.

One of the researchers of Kursk Starina N. Dobroad in 1888 wrote: "Personal and public security was not guaranteed at the time even in central localities, in those who were near Moscow. In the same deserted edges, which was Kursky until Halves The last century, about security and dream was impossible. In those remote times, travelers, even from the village went to the village with aimed. The robbery was a permanent occupation of not only those loops, which society threw out for their unsuitability from its environment, but also ordinary peaceful ordinary people, which Often looked at it, as on the "third-party occupation", which gave great earnings. "

Under these conditions, a special type of people known in the XV-XVII centuries was formed from residents of Kursk Border. under the name of Sevryukov. This is how the Schigrovsky landowner, local history and writer E.L. Markov described them in one of his works: "The constant life on the deserted borders of the land of Russian, among the deaf forests and swamps, forever on the worship of thieves, forever on horseback or in ambush with Ruzhie or onions behind their backs, with a sword in hand, constant contractions with steppe predators, the daily risk of his head, with his freedom, with all his named, - developed during the time of the Sverdy of the same thief and a predator of a kind, indispensable in the fight against integine thieves And predators, all the skills of which they were known as their own. "

Before the Moscow troops began to be sent in the field, it was at Sevlyukkov that the obligation to protect the frontiers of the Seversk land was assigned, although they did not be bored, and if they themselves, to deal with the robbery and robbery. In 1549, Nogai Prince Yusuf complained Ivan Grozny: "Our people went to Moscow with a bargaining, and how they went back, your Cossacks and Sevryuki, who are standing on Don, they beat them," they were answered from Moscow: "Cossacks Many, Kazan, Azov, Crimeans and Others Balovni Cossacks, and from our staine [Okrain], Mixing with them goes go; and those people like you Tati and we are tatties and robbers. "

However, despite the established robber habits of the Kursk commodity population, the main part of the "Vatag" was formed due to the runaway, the masses arrived here from the central regions of Russia. Some of them came to the service in the garrisons of border towns, others have seen to the ground and were engaged in a barking, and the most restless were served in the robbers who walked at these places. These people were talking about themselves: "At the crossroads of Oak, there are three faces on it, one in the Crimea, the other in Russia, and the third in our mills." So, they were looking for themselves and at the expense of Tatars, and at the expense of "Lithuanian people," not Brozdye and rob of compatriots.

It is so known that in the first years of the XVII century. "Thieves Cherkasy Micheuk and Senka Kolpakov lived on Oskol and seven [Seimas]", and the gashka Gushuk was so strong, that he broke the detachments sent against her, reached the street and Novosil, and the sophisticated cattle was made to the Crimeans.

The government strongly fought with robbers, and then the serviced Cossack Atamans of Yakov Bald and Aggha Martynov were distinguished in this struggle. The first of them broke the Cherkasy Ataman of Lazarus, noted by him a bad good and weapons, and then committed to Berchun and Karnahuha. In turn, Aggha Martynov defeated Atamans to Collee and Senka Kolpakov.

However, the eradicated minor robbery was never fully managed, especially since he sometimes had high patrons.

Often, the "Class" painting acquired and robbery acquired and headed against the dominant classes. So, in 1658, Boyar B.M.hitrovo complained to Cossack sentences, that from the border Bryansk, Karachevsky, the fishing and Putivist counties "the peasants living in the estates of the victims and landowners, and the Hollows run in Malorossee, then come from there to the previous residence in crowds , Self-run with himself from other peasants and holsters, and often ignite to their gentlemen, if they were unhappy with them: they raid them at home, they kill them, the owners and their families are killing; sometimes they have stored the Lords in the houses, buried houses from all sides of the Earth And so left the tenants to die with a hungry death. "

Especially these phenomena intensified during major folk unrest. For example, during the rebellion of Stepan Timofeevich, Razin, the perception of "thieves' stakes" in the vicinity of the border fortresses, and even attacks on small military units of "servile people" noted. So, in October 1670, 11 children's children who were in their service were captured overnight for the old Oskol [modern Belgorod region] "thieves". The serunens immediately understood, with whom they deal with: it was worth it only to notice that unknowns "screaming Yasak Vorovsky [they speak on robberry jargon] and praise the thief of the traitor with a wall of time." The nobleman-caught whalers were beaten, sabers were wetted and robbed.

The Bogoroditsky Voivode St. Nities sent a chase for the "robberry", grabbed their accomplices from among the local peasants who had bad things were found. The pursuit pursued the attacked, and those fled "for the shaft under the war to the thieves' kozamas, and the shaft was held between Jablonov and the root in the crown gate." However, Nezlochsky managed to fade them, and he proudly toned the Kursk governor G.G.Rododanovsky that "the robbers and the developers of those renamed ... and cleaned the roads to Voronezh." In general, the pest and restless population of the border edge completely justified the saying in those days: "There is no white king of the porridge against Kuryanin."

In the southern provisions of Russia (Kurskaya, Voronezh, Oryolskaya, Tambovskaya), local residents called the robbers "Kudäira", named the famous legendary robber Kudyar. Basically, the legends of "Cudayers" were distributed in the southwestern regions of the Kursk region. According to the legend recorded in the last century, in the middle of the XVIII century on the territory of the Rylsky and Putivly (Sovk. Sumy region, Ukraine), the counties of Kursk province operated Big Shahka Kudyarov. The main shelter was in the so-called "Machulin" forest, not far from s. Creamy (Sovr. Korenevsky district), in which they jutter on ravines and bouanes, "not trying, however, at all about disguise their presence, since they were not terrible, neither the Voivodskoy forces, nor the more local unarmed residents who themselves were fatally afraid of them and sought only to one - to live with them in peace and harmony. In this whip ... according to the stories of old-timers, there were up to 300 people of robbers. "

The same Vatagi lived in the village of Ishutina, on horseman or the Kleven Mountain, on the "chamorated" settlement near. Big hijackings (modern Lgovsky district), in the "Kuchugur" tract (modern Malseland Rn), etc. Probably, one of these "Kudyarov" belonged to the treasure found on June 24, 1887 when the old stumps of the village of Semenovki (modern Schigrovsky district). Under one of the pnegows, the peasants found a red copper vessel, wide at the base and gradually narrowing to the bottom, containing 16 3/4 pounds (6.5 kg) of Russian silver kopecks of the XVII century. On the side of the vessel, the owner of the "boost" rudely made his name and nickname - "Mikhalko Kosolap" by Slavic letters. Nakhodka came to the local landowner N.I. Browzne, who donated the coins and the vessel of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

According to the stories of old-timers, Kudyari rarely attacked the peasant settlements, firstly, because they spared the peasants in general, belonging to them friendly, in view of the fact that the peasants themselves hardly helped them in everything, and secondly, because to take from the peasants There was nothing.

From the tales, they seem rather not robbers, but with free Cossacks with wide knightly pumps, with strictly regulated, although somewhat peculiar, the concept of honor. So, if they happened to stop the poor peasant, who had kicked the Bazaar with the Flour, they not only did not bother him, but even put it with money, they were attacked by vodka and released on all four sides, leaving all his belongings with it. If the landowner was stopped on the road, they did not ceremony with him, they hurt him completely and let go of what the mother gave birth, pre-abruptly over him. Many times, on the complaint of the peasants, Kudyari did invasions on landlord estates only to punish landowners for their cruelty to their fortress, and if such was the purpose of their arrival, they did not take anything commonly in the estate - neither money or bread nor the belongings, saying that "all the same when they need it - everything will be their then, it will not leave their hands."

The only evil, which was hurt by the peasants, was that they were "grown rustic girls" for their needs. This peasants could not forgive the Cudayaram in the XIX century., Although they told about it already "without any malice, rather even with a smile," but still very detailed and leading various jokes about this. According to the people's legends, the most important occupation of Kudyarov was a predominacy, which they mainly and dedicated all their time.

If they did not have enough bread, they sent a "literature" to some landowner with the orders to deliver immediately to them and then, and if the landowner did not hurry to fulfill their "orders", they then came to him themselves And the armed hand took what they needed. This mainly and exhausted their hostile activity in relation to the local population.

Monetary mining delivered to them, in most cases, passage, other people's faces, who fell in any way or another to the Kursk region; Kudayari was not usually given such a descent and "plunged Eliko possible purely."

According to A.N. Alksandrov, the inhabitants of the Lgovsky county called "Kudyar" "Voropans", since, according to legend, there were many and landowners among the robbers. From here, allegedly went on the surname of the Ivanovsky settlement (modern Rylsky district) of Voropanov's nobles.

From some local old-timers A.N. Alxandrov, "I also had to hear ... that if these narrator ancestors were among the robbers who lived in the settlement." But not all the money mined during robberies and robbery was cut out or became treasures. Perhaps Kursk, so would never be decorated with one of his most beautiful temples - the Sergiev-Kazan Cathedral, erected in 1752 - 1778, if it were not for one incident, which happened to one prominent Kursk merchant - Karp Efremovich Perchivoy. According to legend, under the Easter of 1752, he was captured by the robbers and reached into their tabor, apparently, counting on the ransom. At night, the gang left for robbery, and only Ataman and Perham remained in the camp. Evaluating the athletic folding of the robber, the merchant realized that there was nothing to dream about shooting. After midnight Ataman, being a kind Christian, he decided to work together and invited the prisoner to divide the meal with him. Here, first, I noticed that a terrible sotraznik eats with a knife, using it instead of fork. Implementing a convenient moment, the clever prasol rushed on the robber and stuck this knife in his mouth. Ataman fell, choking blood. Karp Efremovich hastily harnessed his horse and loaded the wagon of a robbery. Returning safely into the city, he gave a vow to build in honor of his wonderful deliverance to the temple - good, the means to this he now fully had.

But neither the numerous of the robbery shakes nor good knowledge of the terrain nor the support of the local population was saved by "Kudyarov" from extermination, when, after the exit of Russia in the Black Sea coast, the most important highways connecting the center and the south of the country passed through the Kursk Territory, and local authorities began seriously Solve the safety problem.

According to the recorded N.Odobernikovsky in the Lgovsky ledge, "Kudayari reinforced for a long time in our places, but then the troops began to send them to them, they drove them, they spoke, they say, to Kaluga himself and have already interrupted there."

In the vicinity of Kursk, the last chayka, which robbed in the tract "Savolyanka" (the modern trait of the city) was destroyed in the early 1860s. Under Governor V.I.Den. For the capture of the robbers, he ordered to fill two soldiers and cover them with roggers. Those who rushed to alleged prey, the robbers were transferred to all to one and "since then there were discontinued."

Reprinted from the site Cossack Sloboda http://dankovkazak.by.ru/sivruks/kuresk_.htm

The peasantry throughout the pre-revolutionary history of Russia has experienced oppression from the landowners, and therefore with sympathy belonged to those who struggled with oppressors. Therefore, the robbers, even very far from the ideals of justice, People's Solva did almost heroes opposing the unfair royal orders. After all, they, as a rule, robbed landlords and merchants, and not those who have nothing to take. But some robbers managed to enter the story, and their names remember even a century later.

Mythical Kudyar

One of the legendary characters is Kudyar - Ataman, whose name is called numerous villages, caves and mounds in Russia. There are many stories and legends about him, but it is still reliably known whether they are true.

Information about its origin is indicated in many sources of the 16th century and diverge. The most common version is that Ataman was the son of Vasily III and his wife - Solomia. She gave birth to him in the monastery, which was exiled for being fruitless, after which Kudyar was taken out in the forest, where he secretly brought up. In addition, according to this information, it follows that Ataman was brother Ivan Grozny and could well claim the royal throne.

In other sources it is indicated that Cudyar was the son of Prince Transylvania - Zhigmond Batori. After a quarrel with his father, he escaped and jumped to the Cossacks, and also served as an Ochrichnik at the king. After royal disfavor, it began to produce a disclaimer.

According to legend, Cudyar made his own thieves of the robbers and robbed the rich coozers.

Due to numerous raids and robberies, residents of many Russian provinces associated him with a symbol of horrific power. Legends say that after he left unpretentious wealth, which so far no one could find.

Stenka Razin: Wasy Robber or Hero?

The main rebellion of the 17th century was Stepan Timofeevich Razin, the nicknamed wall. He was not just a remote Don Cossack and Ataman, but also a good organizer, leader and military.

In connection with the tightened fortress rights in the Cossack region, the peasants who fled from the inner provisions of Russia began to flow. They did not have roots and property, so they were called "pigember". Stepan was one of those. Supposing the "Golaty" of the desired provisioning, local Cossacks helped them in thieves. Those, in turn, shared prey. For the people, Razin was a "noble robber" and a hero that hate serfdom and king.

Under his leadership, in 1670 a campaign was organized on a Volga, accompanied by polynomial peasant uprisings. The Cossack order was introduced in each captured city, merchants robbed, and the authorities were killed. In the autumn of the same year, Ataman was very wounded and exported to Don. Stopping, Stepan again wanted to collect supporters, but local Cossacks were disagree with this. In the spring of 1671, they assigned the Kagalitsky town, where the difference was hidden. After that, he was captivated (together with Brother Frol) and issued to Tsarist Voivod. After the sentence of Stepan fourth.

Vanka Cain

Vanka Cain is the famous robber and thief of the 18th century. Ivan Osipov was born in the village of Ivanovo Yaroslavl province, in the peasant family. At the age of 13, he was transported to the Lordsky Yard, to Moscow, and at 16 - having acquainted with the thief on the nickname "Kamchatka", decided to join his gang, passing his owner, passing his master and writing the Baric Gate. With the words "work the traits, not I" Osipov clearly described its life position.

Soon he was returned to the former owner. While Vanka was in the chandom debross, he learned that "sinters" was found behind the owner. When guests came to Barina, he told everyone that, on the omission of the owner, a garrison soldier died, whose body was thrown into the well. For this Donos Vanka Cain received freedom, and returning to his pike became their leader.

In 1741, Osipov wrote "repentable petition", where he said that he was a thief and was ready to assist in the capture of accomplices. With it, many deserters, thieves and gangsters were caught. For the betrayal of "his" he received the nickname "Cain".

But on this he did not stop. He was arrested in 1749, for the abduction of the 15-year-old daughter of the retired serve. And only in 1755, the court decided Vanka-Cain to execute with ruling and beheading, but the sentence was softened by the Senate. In 1756 he was carved and pulled out nostrils. Putting Cain's stigma "V.Or", he was sent to the link where he died.

Vasily Churkin: Huslitsky Robin Hood.

Vasily Vasilyevich Churkin became a bright character of the criminal world in the 19th century. The exact date of birth is unknown. It is assumed that he was born between 1844-1846, in the village of Barskaya, Huslitsky parish.

Young Churkin began his "career" in the gang of Huslitsky Robbers, wrapped in 1870 on large roads: from Moscow to Vladimir. Later, because of the severe illness of the leader of the scenes broke up. Here Vasily was not confused and in 1873 he created his own whip. Soon he was caught, but under arrest he remained long, because he fled.

In addition to the robbeam, Vasily and his gang helped the poor, thereby won folk glory and recognition. He robbed only rich barns, and from the owners of the factory several times a year collected a small tribute in 25 rubles. Manufacturers did not mention his name in order not to bring trouble on their heads. Thus, Churkin created a reliable rear, who covered him from the police. He never raised his taxis and severely punished those who violated this custom.

When the Huslitsa remains unsafe, Vasily hid in other places. There are many versions of the death of Huslitsky Robin Hood, but the exact reason remains unknown.

Trish Sibiryak

Another folk hero of the 19th century was Trish-Siberian. Information about the criminal authority has survived quite a little, but by giving, he crossed the landowners and nobles. The people took the legends and fairy tales about him, representing the robber defender of disadvantaged. He was extremely careful and heter. Making raids on landowners, Trish-Sibiryak gave a part of the stupid fortress. People said that he didn't hurt anyone, but he could have "lied to the peasants" the barrina to punish, for example, to trim the vendors under the knees, so that the "hip" did not run. So he taught them "Mind-Mind."

Even after his arrest, rumors about him were not allowed to live calmly nobles. Yes, and they caught it only because the search for trisk was in the strictest secret, as the authorities were stirred by his smelters and tricks. The further fate of Trisk Siberian is unknown.

Scandinavian princess pirate Alvilde

Alvilde is considered one of the first pirates, which robbed in the waters of Scandinavia during the early Middle Ages. According to legend, this medieval princess, the daughter of the Gothic king (or the king from Gotland island), decided to become "marine amazon" to avoid marriage imposed on her with Alfom, the son of the powerful Danish king.

After going to the Pirate Voyage with a team of young women, disguised into a men's dress, she turned into a "star" number one among the sea robbers. Because Alvilde raids were a serious threat to the commercial seafling and residents of the coastal districts of Denmark, the Prince Alfa himself was raised for her in pursuit, without guessing that the object of his persecution was believed Alvilde.

By killing most of the sea robbers, he entered into a duel with their leader and forced him to surrender. How was the prince of Danish, when a pirate leader took off his helmet from his head and appeared before him in the guise of a young beauty, on which he dreamed of marrying! Alvilde rated the persistence of the heir to the Danish crown and his ability to swing the sword. The wedding was played right there, on board a pirate vessel. The prince swore a princess to love her to the coffin, and she solemnly promised him never to go into the sea without him.

Everyone died ... Hallelujah! Is the story talking true? The researchers found that for the first time the Tale of Alvilde told the readers of the monk Sakson Grammar (1140 - OK.1208) in his well-known written "Acts of Danov". Most likely he learned about her from the ancient Scandinavian sag.

Zhanna de Belville

The Bretonist nobleman Jeanne de Belville, who was married to the Knights of De Klisson, became a pirate not from love for adventures and wealth, and from the desire to take revenge.

In the period 1337-1453 with several breaks, the war was held between England and France, which became in history as a centenary war. Spouse Zhanna de Belville was accused of betrayal.
France's king Filipp II ordered him to arrest him, and without any evidence and court on August 2, 1943, he was transferred to the executioner. The widow of Jeanne de Belvil-Klison, known for its beauty, charm and hospitality, swore severely revenge. She sold her property and bought three speedspit. According to another version, she went to England, achieved an audience from the King Edward and thanks to his beauty ... Received the monarch for Corsair's operations against France three high-speed ships.

One vessel commanded she herself, others - her two sons. The small fleet called the "Fleet of Retribution in La Manche" became the "Beach of God" in French coastal waters. Pirates are uncomply shipped to the bottom of the French ships, devastating coastal areas. It is said that everyone who had to cross La Mans on a French ship, first of all wrote a testament.

Several years of the squadron robbed French shopping ships, often attacked even the military ships. Zhanna participated in battles, perfectly owned both a saber and a boarding ax. The command of the captured ship, as a rule, ordered to completely destroy. It is not surprising that soon Philip Vi gave an order to "catch a witch alive or dead."

And one day the French managed to surround the pirate ships. Seeing that the forces are unequal, Jeanne showed this cunning - with several sailors she lowered Barcas and, together with sons and a dozen rowers left the battlefield, throwing his associates.

However, fate cruelly repressed her for betrayal. Within ten days, the fugitives wandered over the sea - after all, they did not have navigation instruments. Several people died of thirst (among them the younger son of Zhanna). For the eleventh day, the surviving pirates got to the shores of France. They sheltered a friend of executed de Belville.
After that, Zhanna de Belville, who is considered the first woman-pirate, left his bloody craft, married again. People's Solva said: she began to embroider with beads, set many cats and cooled. That's what a cross-giving cross does what a good marriage means ...

L.sail Kiligru

After about two hundred years after Zhanna de Belville, a new female pirate appeared in La Manne: Lady Kiligru. This lady led a double life: in society, she is a respected wife of the governor of Lord John Kiligru in the port city of Falmet, and at the same time secretly commands pirated ships that attacked trade ships mainly in Falmet Bay. Lady Kiligru tactics for a long time turned out to be successful, since she never left live witnesses.

Once a heavy-loaded Spanish ship entered the bay. Before the captain and the crew came the senses, the pirates attacked and captured it. The captain managed to hide and found himself with great surprise that the pirates commanded a young and very beautiful woman who could compete with men in cruelty. Spanish captain reached the shore and quickly headed to Falmet to the Royal Governor about the attack. To his new surprise, he saw pirates sitting next to the governor, Lord Kiligru. Lord Kiligru controlled two fortresses, whose task was to ensure the enormous swimming of ships in the bay. The captain was silent about what happened, and immediately went to London. By order of the king, an investigation began, which brought unexpected results.

It turned out that Lady Kiligru carried a violent pirate blood, as she was a daughter of the famous Pirate of Philip Volveren from the Sofolk, and she also participated in the girl's attacks. Thanks to the marriage behind Lord, she acquired a position in society, and at the same time he created a large pirated company, which acted not only in La Manche, but also in neighboring waters. During the process, many mysterious cases of the disappearance of merchant ships were found out, which until now was attributed to "supernatural forces".

Lord Kiligru was convicted of death and execution. His spouse also received a death sentence, but later the king was replaced by his life imprisonment.

Mary Ann Blyde

Ireland Mary was extremely high for his time - 190 cm. And unearthly beauty. She became a pirate completely accidentally, but completely given to this dangerous activity. Once she was heading on a ship to America and came prisoner to the most famous sea pirate in history - Eduardu Titchcho, a nunted black beard. Thanks to his good upbringing, Mary Ann Blyde remained at the kidnapper. Soon she showed himself as an excellent student of Ticch and received his ship. Her passion was decorations and precious stones. They argue that together with a tracker, she copied treasures in the amount of $ 70 million, and together they buried them somewhere on the shores of North Carolina. Treasures were not detected so far.

All pirates, and men and women who did not died in battle finish their life ingloriously: they usually condemn them to the death penalty or life imprisonment. Mary Ann was, however, another fate. In 1729, when attacking the Spanish ship, she fell in love with a young man who was driving on this ship. The young man agreed to marry her, but provided that she would throw his occupation. Together, they run away in Peru, and there their traces are lost ...

Ann Bonnie

Ann Kormak (her maiden name) was born in a small Irish town in 1698. This red-haired beauty with a buoy temperament became the icon of the Golden Piracy Icon (1650-1730) after secretly tied his fate with a simple sailor named James Bonnie. The father of Ann, by all the respected person, having learned about the marriage of his daughter, renounced her, after which she and her newly made husband were forced to go to the Bahamas, which at that time were called the Pirate Republic, a place where loaf and sallopa lived. Bonnie's happy family life lasted long.

After the divorce with his spouse, Ann met with Pirate Jack Racham, who became her lover. Together with him, she went to the open sea to rob trade vessels in the open sea. In October 1720, the crew members of the Rackham, including Ann and her open friend Mary Reed, were captured by the British. Bonnie accused her lover in everything. On the last date in prison, she told him the following: "It's a pity to see you here, but if you were fought, like a man, you would not hang like a dog."

Rackham executed. Pregnancy Bonnie allowed her to delay the execution of a deadly sentence. However, that he ever was enforced, in historical records nowhere is not subject to. It is rumored that the influential Father Ann paid a huge amount of money for his unfinished daughter to be released.

Mary Reed

Mary Reed was born in London in 1685. Since childhood, she was forced to depict a boy by the will of fate. Her mother, the widow of the sea captain, disguised the illegitimate girl in the early son of the deceased son in order to lure the money from a rich mother-in-law, who did not know about the death of her grandson. It will pretend a man in the Renaissance era was simply, as the whole men's fashion was very similar to the female (long wigs, big hats, lush outfits, boots), which managed to do Mary.

At 15, Mary was enrolled in the ranks of the British army under the name Mark Reed. During the service, she fell in love with one Flemish soldier. Their happiness was short-term. He suddenly died, and Mary, rejected into a male dress again, went on a ship in West India. On the way, the vessel was captured by pirates. Reed decided to stay with them.

In 1720, Mary joined the crew of the "Revenue" ship, which belonged to Jack Rack. The fact that she was at first they knew only Bonnie and her lover who often flung with "Mark", forcing Ann wildly jealous. After a couple of months, the Secret of Reed was known to the whole team.

After the ship "Revenge" was captured by a hunter on pirates, captain Jonathan Barnets, Mary, as well as Ann, managed to delay the death sentence due to pregnancy. But fate still overtook her. She died in a prison chamber on April 28, 1721 from the maternity hospital. What happened to her child is unknown. Some suspect that he died during childbirth.

Sadi on nicknamed goat

Sadi Farrell, the American Sea Rogue of the XIX century, received its rare nickname due to a strange way of committing crimes. On New York's streets, Sadi won a reputation as a merciless robber, which attacked her victims, inflicting strong blows to them. They say that Sadi was kicked out of Manhattan after she was sent with a familiar criminal, Gallus Meg, resulting in a part of the ear.

In the spring of 1869, Sadi joined the street gang of Charles Street and became her leader after the moored gate was hijacked. Farrell and her new team under the black flag with a cheerful roger floated on the rivers Hudson and Harlem, pass the rag of farm estates and mansions of the rich, located along the shores, and sometimes kidding people in order to receive redemption.

By the end of the summer, such a fishery became too risky, because farmers began to protect their possessions, without warning to shoot on an approaching slope. Sadi Farrell was forced to return to Manhattan and reconcile with Gallus Meg. She returned her a piece of ear, which kept for descendants in a jar with a special solution. Sadi, since then, known as the "port queen", placed him in a medallion, with whom he did not part until the end of his life.

Illyrian Queen Tevta.

After the husband's husband, the Illyrian King Agron, died in 231 BC, she took the brazers of the board in their hands, as her Pinnes stepier was then too small. In the first four years of the reign over the Arda tribe, which lived on the territory of the modern Balkan Peninsula, the Tevta encouraged piracy as a means of control against the power neighbors of Illyry. Adriatic Sea Robbers not only robbed Roman shopping ships, but also helped the queen to win a number of settlements, including dirrachius, and chief. Over time, they expanded their influence on the Ionian Sea, terrorizing the trading paths of Greece and Italy.

In 229, before our era, Romans sent ambassadors to the terta who expressed discontent with the absoluteness of the Adriatic Pirates and called for her to influence their subjects. The queen with a mockery reacted to their requests, stating that piracy on Illyrian ideas is legal craft. As the Roman ambassadors were reacted, it is unknown, but, apparently, not very politely, because after a meeting with the teutant one of them was killed, and the other was sent to prison. This served as a reason to start the war between Rome and Illaria, which lasted two years. The test was forced to recognize his defeat and conclude the world on extremely unprofitable conditions. Ardia was obliged to pay the burdensome tribute annually.

The teutte continued to oppose the Roman rule, for which the throne was lost. There is no information about its further fate in history.

Jacotta Makery

Jacotta Makey was born in the XVII century in the family of a Frenchman and Haitians. Her mother died in childbirth. After the Father Jacotta was killed, she was left alone with her younger brother, which suffered by mental retardation. This forced the red-haired girl to do pirate fishery.

In the 1660s, Jacotte had to stage his own death in order to escape from the persecution of government troops. She lived under the male name for several years. When it all went down, Jacotta returned to the previous activity, taking the nickname "Red-haired, returned from the next world."

Breton Lioness

Zhanna de Clisson was the wife of a rich nobleman Olivier III de Clisson. They lived happily, raised five children, but when the war began between England and France, her husband was accused of state treason and executed through decapitation.

Robbery, dashing people always attracted attention to themselves. They became heroes of legends and legends, songs and poems were made about them. In the folk consciousness, the robber was rarely bad, because he robbed rich and shared with the poor.

Kudyar

The most legendary Russian robber - Kudyar. Personality This chipmifical. There are several versions of its identification. According to the main of them, Kudyar was the son of Vasily III and his wife of the straw, causing abandoned the monastery. According to this legend, during the Tasting Solomonia was already pregnant, she gave birth to the son of George, who passed "in reliable hands," and everyone announced that the newborn died.

It is not surprising that Ivan Grozny was very interested in this legend, since the Cudwar had to him with his elder brother, and therefore could claim power. This story is most likely folk folk. The desire to "improve the robber", and also give yourself to believe in the illegality of power (and therefore the possibility of its overthrow) is typical of the Russian tradition. We have that neither Ataman, then the lawful king. In relation to Kudyar, there are so many versions of its origin, which would be enough for half a dozen of Atamans

Dmitry Silav

Dmitry Silayev - the face is quite real. In the ravine case of 1844, Rzhevsky's village of Smolensk district, he is mentioned as the leader of the robbers, who among other things committed "the robbery of the House of the landowner F.M. Belkin.

Flight at the landowner's house, which is called, made a rustle, it was reported to the most king. Five years before this incident, another robber was caught, Trish-Sibiryak. The safety of the landowners was threatened - it was necessary to take action. And they were accepted. Silayey caught and exiled to Siberia, where he, however, escaped with two accomplices.

However, with arrest and reference Silay, everything is not so simple. In a criminal case, it is sustained that "he ran in six years before that," that is, the robber was in the link back in 1838, then I fled and lived in the Yelninsk district of "different peasants who did not do about him", that is, not reported on a rainbear convict.

In a criminal case, the appearance of Silayova described in sufficient detail: "Black eyes, a black beard, Zipun, separated by atlas, always with a gun in the boot." Pretty classic image of the robber, but at the same time without idealization, characteristic of the description of "dashing people."

Lyalya

Lyalya can be called not only one of the most legendary robbers, but also the most "literary". The poet Nikolai Rubtsov wrote about him the poem "Robber Lyalya". Information about him was also local historians, which is not surprising, since still toponyms resembling about this man are preserved in the Kostroma region. It is Lyalina Mountain and one of the tributaries of the wind river, which is called Lyalinka.

Editor A.A. Sysoev wrote: "In the Velluzhskaya Forests, the robber Lyalya walked with his pike - it's one of the Atamans Stepana Razin ... who lived in the mountains at the river the rest of the Varnavina. According to the legend, Lyalya robbed and burned the Novovozda monastery on the river big more than near the village Cecilic ". This may be true, because at the end of 1670 here really visited the detachment of the ruins.

Lyalya appeared in the Kostroma forests after the suppression of the Razinsky rebellion. He chose a place for the robbery mill on a high grief with the calculation to have a strategic advantage in robbery passing near the Winter Tractor. From spring to autumn, the merchants took the goods on the ships, and on the road often stopped in the pebble.

The main fishery of Vatagi was to collect ransom from merchants, local feudals and landowners. Legends paint it, as it is found in folklore, strict, sharp and powerful, but fair. His exemplary portrait is preserved: "It was a broad-sided, muscular man of medium height; Face tanned, coarse; black eyes under bushy frothing eyebrows; dark hair."

Shayka lazy more than once wanted to catch, but the detachments sent to catch the robber, constantly faced with too loyal attitudes of the local men to Llya - they treated him rather with respect, Lyalya warned about the appearance of detachments, some rustic men even joined Vatage.

However, with the time of Vataga, all the same redested, and Lyalya became more and more in its fishery. Therefore, I decided to catch my wealth - drowned in the lake (it is still called storage room) and buried in grief. Where they are still stored. Of course, if you believe legend.

Trish Sibiryak

Trish-Siberian, about which we have already mentioned, robbed in the 1930s of the XIX century in the Smolensk district. The lead about him was broadcast on other areas, leading to the state of the flutter of the nobles and landowners. The letter of Turgenev's mother has been preserved, which she wrote to his son in Berlin in February 1839. It has such a phrase: "Tishka appeared like Pugachev - that is, he is in Smolensk, and we are a brunch in Bolkhov." Pokiman Triska was next next month, he was trampled and arrested in the Spiritshchinsky district.

The capture of trisk was a real special operation. Knowing the caution of the robber, he was caught under the guise of the persecution of another person. Almost no one knew about the true goal of searching - they were afraid to sigh.

As a result, when the arrest still took place, a message about it appeared in Smolensk Vedomosti, as an event is extremely important. However, until the 50s of the XIX century, legends about Trishke-Siberian continued to distinguish the nerves of the landowners, worried that someday Trishka will rise on their way, or will penetrate them into the house.

The people loved the same trush and made legend about him, where the robber appeared defender of disadvantaged.

Vanka Cain

The story of Vanka-Cain is dramatic and instructive. It can be called the first official thief of the Russian Empire. He was born in 1718, at the age of 16 he met the famous thief along the nickname "Kamchatka" and loudly left the landowner house, where he served, robbing him, and writing everything on the Bar gate, everything he thinks about the work: "Work the feature, not me ".

Several times they were taken to the secret order, but every time they let go, so they began to go rumors that Ivan Osipov (so called Cain in fact) "Katits Fart". Moscow thieves decided to choose him with their leader. It passed a little time, and Vanka already "commanded" a gang of 300 people. So he became the unaid king of the criminal world.

However, on December 28, 1741, Ivan Osipov recovered in a random order and wrote "repentant petition", and even offered his services in the catch of his own associates, became the official report of the ravine order.

The first police surgery on his tank covered the thieves gathering in the house of the Dyakon - a catch of 45 people. The same night, 20 members of the Yakov Zueyev's gangs took in the house of the Protopopa. And in the Tatar baths of Zamoskvorechye, 16 deserters were told and an underground with a weapon was revealed.

However, Vanka Caina was calm. He had a tendency to waste and chic, and chapped on the abduction of the 15-year-old daughter's "retired serving" Taras Zewakina, on corruption and banal rack.

The case was stretched for 6 years, while in 1755 the court made a verdict - to make a chance, be delayed. But in February 1756 Senate sentenced soften. Caine was given a row, pulled out the nostrils, stunned by the word V.O.R. And they referred to the cowboy - at first in the Baltic Rogervik, from there to Siberia. Where he kicked
