Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although no options were attached we can say the following,

The punishment for Russian serfs who submit unlawful petitions complaining of their landlords was a harsh punishment by the whip and could be deported to the prison of Nerchinsk, to be jailed for life.

We are talking about the time of Russian Empress Catherine the Great, who got to the throne of Russia after forcing the abdication of King Peter III.

Internal problems motivated peasants and poor people to demand changes in servitude. That is why the government published a decree in 1767, where the Russian empire condemned serfs and poor people that initiated protests or rebelling asking for better living conditions.
