Answer
Pugachev was popular among Old Believers because he was able to exploit their grievances against the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian Empire. The Old Believers were a group of Russian Orthodox Christians who had split from the church in the 17th century over a dispute about religious reforms. They believed that the reforms had introduced heretical changes to the church, and they refused to accept them.
