Abstract
The paper aims to develop a hierarchy of the factors that promoted urban riots in Moscow State in the middle of the XVII century. The article considers the first Romanovs’ class policy, examines their perception of the provincial noblemen’s and craft people’s urgent demands, analyses these social strata’s response which resulted in a severe socio-political crisis. Urban riots are considered as a result of the civil servants’ and craft people’s aspiration to raise their social status, taking into account their growing role in the country life. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that urban riots are considered as manifestations of the permanent crisis that faced the society and the state. The authors try to broaden the notion “urban riots”, which, in their opinion, should not be understood exclusively as direct anti-government actions. The research findings are as follows: the authors justify the necessity to study urban riots of the middle of the XVII century in a wider context of global social and political processes in the first half of the XVII century.
