The Salt Riot, also known as the Moscow Uprising of 1648 (Russian: , 1648), was a riot in Moscow in 1648, triggered by the government''s substitution of different taxes with a universal direct salt tax for the purpose of replenishing the state treasury, which, in turn, made salt a much more expensive commodity. The indignation of peasants and townsfolk forced the government to abolish this new way of taxation, but the previous arrears, however, were being collected for the past three years all at once. On 1 June 1648, upon Alexei I''s return to Moscow from his trip to Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra, a crowd of townspeople surrounded the tsar and complained about the boyars and prikaz officials.
