Aftermath
After Pugachev's escape some rebel groups under Bäxtiär Qanqayıv and Usman Timerev continued the resistance, but they were shortly neutralized by governmental troops.
The battle of Kazan had a significant role in Tatarstan's history. The Tatar participation in the rebellion numbered up to 85,000. Nevertheless the participants of the rebellion were harshly punished, Tsar's government continued its policy of the support of Muslim nobility and clergy, to prevent similar as a result of religious oppression in future. Feudal oppression, however, stayed for a long time.
This battle took a major place in the Soviet culture. The first Tatar movie Bulat-Batır was devoted to Pugachev rebellion in Tatarstan and the siege of Kazan.
