Originally Pushkin wanted to write a novel devoted only to the Pugachev movement, but the censors were unlikely to let it through. Therefore, the main plot line of the story is the service of a young nobleman for the benefit of the fatherland and his love for the daughter of the captain of the Belogorsk fortress. In parallel, another theme is given, so interested in the author's Pugachevschina. The second theme, of course, Pushkin devotes significantly fewer pages, but enough to reveal the essence of the peasant revolt and to introduce the reader to the leader of the peasants Yemelyan Pugachev. To make his image more credible, the author needed a hero who personally knew Pugachev and would later comment on what he saw. Such a hero was Peter Grinev, a nobleman, an honest, noble young man. Petrusha Grinev's childhood was not very different from the childhood of other children of local nobles. From the mouth of the hero Pushkin ironically talks about the customs of the old nobility: "My mother was still pregnant, as I was already enrolled in the Semenov regiment sergeant. If my mother had given birth to a daughter, her father would have informed the authorities about the death of the sergeant who had not come, and that would have been the end of it. This is from the Internet, there are a lot of different essays on Grinev and Shvabrin, and I think you can take something from these essays.
