STENKA's Story:

Well as you can see I’ve got more medals and badges than anyone else. Some people say that it’s because I found the tin box holding all the medals where Tooz hid it behind his drinks cabinet but the real reason is that I’ve had a long an succesful career looting and pilaging my way around what was the Russian empire.

Rumours of my death have been frequently exaggerated. Even the Tzar claims to have beheaded me in 1671 after a rather profitable cossack revolutionary rampage during which I captured the city now known as Stalingrad.

Stenka Razin

I am quite awsomly famous with numerous songs written about me, operas films and suchlike. Some people describe me as the Russian Robin Hood but quite honestly that’s a load of twaddle. Robin Hood was a namby compared with me. One of my best known party tricks was throwing princesses into the Volga and you’ve never heared of Robin Hood throwing maid Marion to drown in the river Trent have you?

Here’s the billing from my latest film and the words from the theme song. Quite a jolly little ditty actualy.

Stenka Razin and the princess

From beyond the wooded island
To the river wide and free
Proudly sailed the arrow-breasted
Ships of Cossack yeomanry.

On the first is Stenka Razin
With his princess by his side
Drunken holds in marriage revels
With his beauteous young bride.

From behind there comes a murmur
"He has left his sword to woo;
One short night and Stenka Razin
Has become a woman, too."

Stenka Razin hears the murmur
Of his discontented band
And his lovely Persian princess
He has circled with his hand.

His dark brows are drawn together
As the waves of anger rise;
And the blood comes rushing swiftly
To his piercing jet black eyes.

"I will give you all you ask for
Head and heart and life and hand."
And his voice rolls out like thunder
Out across the distant land.

Volga, Volga, Mother Volga
Wide and deep beneath the sun,
You have never such a present
From the Cossacks of the Don.

So that peace may reign forever
In this band so free and brave
Volga, Volga, Mother Volga
Make this lovely girl a grave.

Now, with one swift mighty motion
He has raised his bride on high
And has cast her where the waters
Of the Volga roll and sigh.

Now a silence like the grave
Sinks to all who stand and see
And the battle-hardened Cossacks
Sink to weep on bended knee.

"Dance, you fools, and let's be merry
What is this that's in your eyes?
Let us thunder out a chantey
To the place where beauty lies."

From beyond the wooded island
To the river wide and free
Proudly sailed the arrow-breasted
Ships of Cossack yeomanry.

Here are some snaps from my recent visit to Rome where I single handedly captured the entire Regia Aeronautica and the Pope awarded me the "Medalio Grosso Immensado Betiso".
