The serf peasant Ilya, the son of Fedorov, who received the name from one of his masters, the Orenburg landowner Arapov, was on the run before the uprising. When Pugachev’s army appeared in the Berdskaya Sloboda in October 1773 , Arapov joined the rebels, thanks to his energy and peasant grip, Pugachev liked him. As a well-known local region, he was sent to the Samara distance to organize the supply of the rebel army with food and fodder . Not limited to this order, Arapov, together with the peasant detachment organized by him, took the Buzuluk fortress, the Krasnosamara fortress, the Alekseev fortress and captured Samara without a fight on December 25, 1773 ( January 5, 1774 ) [1] .
On December 29, 1773, the light field team of Prime Minister K.I. Moufel , who approached Samara, after a fierce battle defeated Arapov's detachment and forced him to leave the city. Arapov’s detachment did not give up any of the previously taken fortresses without a fight, although he was defeated by government troops at Alekseevsk on January 7, 1774 , at the Buzuluk fortress on February 14, near Sorochinskaya fortress on March 6 [2] . Having saved and replenished his detachment, Arapov led him to the Tatishchev fortress on March 20, where Pugachev’s army, having removed the siege from Orenburg, was preparing to give a general battle to the combined corps of generals P.M. Golitsyn , P.D. Mansurov and F. Yu. Freiman. In this battle on March 22, Arapov was killed, like many Pugachevites. [3] [4] .
