2609historical_info = flavor_rus.28.historical_info After the Pugachev revolt, Catherine II shifted her stance on serfdom. Initially planning emancipation, she realized the opposition it would face from influential landowners crucial to her support. Fearing chaos, she abandoned the idea, instead reinforcing the oppressive system. Catherine extended serfdom to Ukrainians, previously free, and exacerbated the peasants' plight by granting crown lands to her allies. By the end of her reign, Russia had few free peasants, marking a stark contrast to her initial intentions.
