The article highlights the participation of people sentenced to hard labor in the construction of the Dnieper Defense Line during 1774-1783. It was established that the main reason for the construction of defensive fortifications was the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774. On May 10, 1770, the military board of the Russian Empire approved items entitled «On the establishment of a line along the Berdi and Moskovtsi rivers.» According to the points, Lieutenant General M. Dedev was appointed head of the defense line construction. In general, an amount of 100,000 rubles was allocated from the treasury for construction. On September 2, 1770, Empress Catherine II signed the Decree on the construction of the Dnieper Defense Line. According to the Decree, a fortified fortification line was built in five years, which stretched for 196 versts and included seven fortresses - Oleksandrivska, Mykytynska, Kirillivska, Hryhorivska, Oleksiivska, Zakharivska, and Petrivska. The establishment and development of the prison system in Zaporozhye is connected with the construction of the Dnieper Defense Line. However, those sentenced to hard labor, government work, and settlement began to arrive on the Dnieper Line only in 1774. The first convicts (well workers) and exiled settlers appeared in the Oleksandrivskaya Fortress at the beginning of 1774. The criminals who went to the Line were both civilian and military rank. The most common crimes punishable by hard labor were: murder, robbery and repeated theft. They were also punished with hard labor for: incest, espionage for the benefit of another state, escape from military service and places of punishment, counterfeiting, etc. A large part of them were Cossacks and Haydamaks, accused of committing various crimes. Construction work continued on the Dnieper Defense Line until 1783. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
