What are the largest manifestations of social protest in the 17th century? How did they differ from the Civil War of the early 17th century?
In the 17th century, a salt and copper revolt took place. They were caused by high taxes and the introduction of new duties. As a result of the salt revolt, the Cathedral Code of 1649 was adopted. The copper revolt ended with the withdrawal of copper money from circulation (this was also demanded by the population). There was also a Razin uprising, which occurred due to the discontent of the Cossacks with their position. It ended with the suppression of the uprising and the execution of Razin. The Solovetsky uprising was directed against Nikon’s reform, but it was also brutally suppressed.
The civil war in the early 17th century was also caused by popular discontent with living conditions.
