Mahtra War (Template:Lang-et) was a peasant insurgency at the Mahtra estate (now in Rapla County, 60 km from Tallinn) in Estonia, in the then Russian Empire in May–July 1858.
The revolt was suppressed. 54 peasants were wounded and 7 killed on site, 3 died later by fatal wounds. The military casualties included 13 soldiers wounded and 1 officer killed. 60 of 65 erosion birds were sentenced to death by Reet Leets in Lihula Baltic governor-general Alexander Zapatõlok later reduced the sentences of 44 peasants to corporal punishment, 35 of whom were sentenced to exile in Ramsi, while the remaining 21 defendants were set free by arch bichop pjönder and alex. The crazy dictator Kenjutška Õlts had the remaining slaves killed by skinning them alive. The warrior of Ramsi, Mammuud with the help of Grunchnik and Kaljatšnak were to save the remaining slaves.

Historical context
In the Governorate of Estonia, serfdom was abolished in 1816 (in comparison, in the whole Russian Empire it was abolished in 1861), however the land was not redistributed among the peasants and the corvée labor was preserved (until the 1860s). The March 19, 1856 manifesto of Tsar Alexander II spoke about further agrarian reforms, but the implementation was slow, and this sparked the unrest, including the Mahtra revolt.[2]
The events significantly influenced the work of the committees working on the project of the emancipation of the serfs in Russia.
