lyrics

Rebellion in Teryushevsk region took place in 1743-1745 in Nizhny Novgorod Governorate. This is one of the most gloomy, cruel and harsh pages in the history of Volga region.

The beginning was the opposition of the population against the forced baptism (better known as the Christianization Mordovians), conducted by the Bishop of Nizhny Novgorod and Alatyr Dmitry. May 18, 1743 he arrived in the village of Sarley. Seeing near the church erzyan cemetery with gravestones framed in wood, he ordered to burn it. Spontaneously gathered peasants attacked the missionaries. Bishop managed to hide in the root cellar of the local priest. In a letter to the provincial office, he demanded to send a military detachment to arrest and prosecute the instigators, destroy the cemeteries near the church and villages and to prohibit sacrifices. After the departure of Bishop, the excesses of local officials, punitive teams and missionary groups have increased. Managing fiefdom arrested near 20 Erzyas and sent them as rebels to the Nizhny Novgorod provincial office. Bishop held them under a strong guard in chains and blocks, tortured them; many of them were tied up and dipped into baptistery and then the crosses were put on. The tsarist government, rather than to stop the violence, issued a decree that was to be carried out a new conscription of Erzyas. Fleeing from the chasteners, peasants fled into the woods and organized rebel groups under the lead of the Nesmeyan Vasilev (nicknamed Krivoij) from the village of Big Seskino.

In the sacred grove near the village he announced population of his county free from obligations to landlords and authorities. Under his leadership, the rebels defeated the tzar's forces near the village of Romanikha and Bortsovo. Grenadier and dragoon units were sent into the country under the command of Major-General Streshnev and Prime Major Junger. Junger's squad entered the Lapshiha village.
The battle began on November 26, 1743, which resulted in defeat of the poorly armed rebels: among Erzyas 74 people were killed, 30 were wounded, and 130 were captured. Nesmeyan Vasiliev was sentenced to burning, his associate, steward of Kleiha village Pumras Semenov - to death. Empress Elizaveta Petrovna by decree of 15 July 1744 replaced the death penalty with eternal hard labor in Siberia. The other leaders of the rebels (282 people) were subjected to severe punishment. By mid-1745 last outbreaks of Teryushevskogo uprising were suppressed.

In spite of the Christianization, Erzyan preserved their traditions to the present day and have a state formation as a part of Russia - the 13th region, Mordovia.
