Boguchárovo
Boguchárovo
Alpátych goes on ahead to Boguchárovo, which is part of the Bolkónski holdings, to tell the peasants to abandon it and move into Moscow, as the French had unexpectedly made it closer than expected.
The Boguchárovovians had the reputation of being rather stubborn with a tendency to rebel against the ruling classes, and this is confirmed when Alpátych has some trouble convincing their leader, Dron, that they should pack up carts and leave.
Though he eventually gets a small agreement from Dron in the end, nothing has been done to affect the move by evening, and Alpátych readies himself to get the help of the police.
