Did you ever wish you had the ability to draw, and bring to life, all those neurotic heavily-perfumed karaoke-singing subdebs that you see on the bus? YESSSS! No? Not really? Arthur de Pins does it very very well, and I wish him the best. Poor guy!!
Afanasy Nikitin was the first Russian to explore India, which he wound up doing in about 1466.
In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
