самозванец! ok, im just about done reading капитанская дочь and i wanted to find out a little more about pugachev. i've heard the name before but dont really know much. all i can gather from the storty is that he gathers up groups of rougue kazaks and captures fortreses, but from 'his' dialologe, he doesn't seem like he's all bad.
any knoledhe you could impart would be great
