Fleeing for the Cossack community on the Terek River, he arrived in early January 1772. He was held for 48 hours before he managed to escape, beginning his fugitive career. The fleeing Cossacks were caught soon after by the authorities, and Pavlov implicated Pugachev in the desertion, causing his arrest. After they were safely across the Don River, he returned home to Zimoveyskaya. Convinced by his brother-in-law, Simon Pavlov, he joined a dissatisfied Cossack group who were fleeing eastward for an independent Cossack community on the Terek River. Despite urging from military commanders, Pugachev refused to be treated in a military infirmary or return to the front. In 1770, Pugachev requested leave to return home to recover from a severe illness, later seeking permanent discharge. It was also during this period, in 1770 at the siege of Bender during the Russo-Turkish War, that he first displayed a flair for impersonation, boasting to his comrades that his sword was given to him by his "godfather", Peter I. During this period, he was recognized for his military skill and achieved the Cossack rank of khorunzhiy, which would be roughly equivalent to the post of company commander. He returned home in 1762, and for the next seven years divided his time between his home village and several service assignments. Shortly after his marriage, he joined the Russian Second Army in Prussia during the Seven Years' War under the command of Count Zakhar Chernyshov. One year later, he married a Cossack girl, Sofya Nedyuzheva, with whom he had five children, two of whom died in infancy. Born in the stanitsa Zimoveyskaya (in present-day Volgograd Oblast), he signed on to military service at the age of 17. Clarence Brown was later hired to reshoot several scenes and ultimately completed the film.Pugachev, the son of a small Don Cossack landowner, was the youngest son of four children. Hill requested that he be removed as director as he did not like the film's subject matter and had tired of Gilbert and Adorée's complaints. īefore filming completed, director George W. Frances Marion, who wrote the screenplay, became frustrated by the numerous requests and later said she "lost track of what the story was really about and the material seemed frayed on all edges." The film's stars John Gilbert and Renée Adorée complained about the numerous rewrites and felt their roles were "not worthy". The Cossacks was beset with problems due to MGM executives requesting various script changes during filming.
