Although Stepan has no real claim to the throne, he says he wants it because Mikhailovich did not reward him well when he was in his service.

Contents 1 Dialogue 1.1 Reporting back to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich 2 Stats and equipment 3 Trivia Dialogue[] I am the chief of the Don Cossacks. Stepan Razin they call me. I have been on many raids against the Tatars at the behest of the Moscow Tsar. And how does he show his gratitude? My brother was executed on a calumny, I am now hunted and ordered to be jailed. The Tsar of Russia dreams of strangling all the liberties of the Don, yet the Cossacks shall stand up for themselves. Once a true heir to the throne arrives, we shall start a rebellion. And then just wait, Alexei Mikhailovich! In all sincerity, I would have long cried out the rallying cry, "Saryn on kichka!" But where can I find the one who would claim the Tsar's throne? Reporting back to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich[] Word has it that one of the Cossack chiefs, what's his name... Stenka Razin, eh -- that he has started a rebellion against the Don. I can hardly wait to see him in the Kremlin. In chains, of course. We Romanovs are the rightful holders of the Cap of Monomakh, and these mutineers who resolved to rebel against us will be placed on racks and broken on the wheel. If you have involved yourself in their affairs by foolishness or lack of wit, then go to the Secret Department and confess all you know -- or pay the price.

Razin is first noted in history in 1661, when he was part of a diplomatic mission from the Don Cossacks to the Kalmyks. Historian Paul Avrich characterizes Razin's revolt as "a curious mixture of brigandage and revolt", due to his initial plan of looting villages, but then he became a symbol of peasant unrest which turned his movement political. Razin's rallying cry "Saryn' na kichku" (Сарынь на кичку) was a battle cry of the Don Cossacks, originating from the language of Volga bandits. Its meaning is disputed.
