Thanks to Peter, I learned the amazing story of my ancestors on my father’s side, who lived in the 18th-19th centuries in the Voronezh province.

In the Russian Historical Archive and the Archive of Ancient Acts, Peter found documents, a detailed investigation of the tragic event in which my family took part. We are talking about the uprising of Ukrainian peasants in 1766, who did not want to lose their freedom and obey the demands of Count Buturlin. Thanks to Peter, I also learned how my ancestors, through incredible difficulties, managed to pay off the count and became free even before the abolition of serfdom in 1861. Many documents were found, from which the real story emerged; it was possible to imagine how these people lived, what they dreamed of, what they knew and were able to do.

I thank Peter for the most interesting materials, which provided a lot of information that was important for my entire family.
