| 520 | _a"De Quincey's Revolt of the Tartars" by Thomas De Quincey is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into the dramatic flight of the Kalmuck Tartars from their territory under Russian rule toward China, elucidating the motives, intricacies, and human suffering woven into this lesser-known episode of history. The opening of the text introduces readers to the vast and turbulent landscape of 18th-century Russia and the Kalmuck nation's struggle for autonomy. It sets the stage by describing a young prince, Oubacha, thrust into a dangerous political climate dominated by rivalries and the oppressive oversight of the Russian Empire. The chapter outlines the complexity of the Kalmuck revolt, highlighting key figures such as the cunning Zebek-Dorchi, who orchestrates the conspiracy that leads to the mass exodus, as well as the internal conflicts and social dynamics that shape their fate. De Quincey employs a vivid, almost theatrical prose style to convey the emotional weight of the impending revolt and the dramatic stakes involved, foreshadowing the hardships and calamities that the Kalmucks will soon face on their harrowing journey.
