Stepan Razin [Boris Kustodiev, 1918]

Stepan Razin is one of the colorful rogues of Russian history. He and and his merry crew of Cossack cut-throats are the Russian equivalent of the jolly buccaneers of the Spanish Main. By the way, Stepan Razin is a Russian figure, and if you hear Galician Uniate claims that he was “Ukrainian”, that is ridiculous. I cannot understand why those people steal from our history. Oh, well… consider the source.
