The Birth of Kungur | Native crafts | Pugatchev | Town-heads
Pugatchev still is in the memory of the people of Kungur eve though Pugatchev himself wasn't on the territory of the town. The war of Pugatchev came to kungur - a little town that didn't have anything to protect. By that time the voyevoda of Kungur Miller and his people got scared and secretely ran away from the town. So, the merchants of Kungur organized the protection of the town. The leaders were Filipp Krotov and Emelyan Chlebnikov. In memory of our victory the icon was painted in the holy name of three saint people: Vasiliy Velikiy, Grigirij Bogoslov, Ioann Zlatoust and others. 100 years after this battle of Kungur with the people of Pugatchev merchants decided to open the memorial on the central square of the town.
