Episode: Russian Raiders & Rebels | Stepan Razin
Description: If you thought Russian pirates didn't exist, think again, matey! Stepan Razin- or Stenka to his friends - was a rebellious leader of the Cossacks who raised a political uprising against the Russian elite in the 1670s. Some may see him as a Robin Hood-type figure, others see him as a swashbuckling and violent revolutionist. Either way, his fearless movement didn't end very pleasantly. Megan and Elizabeth bring out the vodka and stroganoff for yet another Russian execution story. Nostrovia! Support the show
