The Russian Wikipedia entry on Koliivshchyna reports that about 300 people were executed in Kodnya between summer 1769 and summer 1770 after the uprising, which falls within the claimed 1769–1773 window.

… Most of the Catherine II had, as well as the Poles, had tries Eliznayak and others. There, there is a book, the Kudinskyia Niga, the protocols of some of the court hearings there.

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Koliivshchyna Wikipedia reports that from summer 1769 to summer 1770 about 300 people were executed in Kodnya by a special court, with beheadings, hangings, impalings, breakings on the wheel and quarterings.[1]
Supports. The Ukrainian Wikipedia entry records hundreds of sentenced cases from the Koliivshchyna suppression, including 151 beheadings, 57 hangings and 9 quarterings out of 336 registered cases, consistent with executions in the hundreds.[2]
Context. Sources say Zalizniak himself was not executed: he was sentenced to whipping and branding and exile to Siberia, so the claim should not be read as saying he was executed.[3][4][5]
Context. The claim's 1769–1773 window is wider than the 1769–1770 period given in the sources, but the sourced executions fall inside it, so it is not contradicted. The extraction's 'led by Zeliznyak' is resolved from the post's reference to the Koliivshchyna rebellion.[1]
