The Russian tsar who changed his mind about reforming serfdom due to the Pugachev Rebellion was Catherine the Great (Catherine II). The Pugachev Rebellion, which occurred between 1773 and 1775, was a massive uprising of peasants and Cossacks led by Yemelyan Pugachev who claimed to be the deceased Tsar Peter III. The rebellion highlighted the dissatisfaction among the peasantry and the volatility of the serfdom system. After the rebellion was suppressed, Catherine became more cautious about enacting reforms that might threaten the existing social order, leading her to reinforce the institution of serfdom rather than abolishing or significantly reforming it.
