This Russian folk song tells about Stepan (Stenka) Timofeyevich Razin, who lived from 1630 till 16th of June 1671.

Stepan Razin was mentioned in history for the first time in 1661, as part of a diplomatic mission from the Don Cossacks to the Kalmyks. In the same year, Razin went on a long-distance pelgrimage to the great Solotevsky Monastery on the White Sea, for the benefits of his soul. Then, for six years, every trace of him is lost. As he appeared again, he was the leader of a robber community.
