Simbirsk

Six strong, ordinary Russian men
subject: On Sunday August 10, 1796, the crowds at the market place in Nikolaev (Mykolaiv) yelled "ura!" and seized 6 carts of watermelon. 6 men were arrested: Korochkin, from the 90-gun Sozon, Stepan Efimov, who arrived on a cutter transporting officers from the brigantine Nikodim, Osip Baskakov, who came with officers from the frigate Nikon, a skipper named Koverin, a ship carpenter named Filip Kuz’min, and a garrison soldier named Yakov Yakovlev. Tales of their exploits would soon make their way to Kherson.
