Chebarkul (city)

Founded in 1736 as a military fortress on the border of the Russian Empire. Chebarkulskaya fortress defended the south-eastern borders of Russia and was a transit point for the delivery of food to the Cossack troops of the Southern Urals, and later became a large Cossack village.

The fortress was founded with the consent of the Bashkir tarkhan Taymas Shaimov , the owner of the land on which the construction was planned ^{[4] [5] [6]} . In return for this, Shaimov received a saber, and the Bashkirs were exempted from taxation. ^[6] The first version of the fortress was not built according to a typical model, as almost all of the newly built fortifications of that time, but had a type of outpost in which all the necessary buildings and the garrison were inside the walls ^[7]

In 1774, the Chebarkulsky fortress became an outpost for the troops of the rebel peasants, led by E. Pugachev , who in the fortification prepared for the capture of Chelyabinsk. But the assault was unsuccessful, and the Pugachevites decided to retreat back to the Chebarkul fortress. Having learned that the rebels were defeated by government troops, the Chebarkulites did not hope for the return of the Pugachev detachment. However, Pugachev returned and attacked the fortress in the early morning. The fortress was burned, and its restoration took at least two years. ^[eight]
