The year is 1676.
I find history more interesting when you give a little more perspective. most namely what's happening in and around this time elsewhere.
The city of Boston is already a bustling new world settlement, having been founded about 50 years ago.
If you're of a historical-fiction bent, about 25 years from now, Edward Kenway will be born, and the golden age of piracy in the caribbean will soon kick off.

Ottomans are not the only turks. everything from their leaders name to their swords to their hairstyles to their lifestyle looks like a tribe of turks. of course language could be assimilated with the locals since many tatars have done before. Cossacks maybe are the early nestorian christian tatars that got out of one of the hordes. and got mixed with slavic locals since the 14/15/16th century.

Ironically, this is supposed to be an educational video, somewhat, and yet it fails to make a distinction between Zaporozhian Cossacks, Napoleonic era Cossacks and Russian Cossacks (which are all different people, sharing a common turkic word to refer to them. Zaporoshian Cossacks were crushed by Russian Empire, and Russian Cossacks (incl. Napoleonic era) are different people alltogether.

And tragically they would eventually become the opressive hands of the Russian government they once opposed a good historian should be like a good journalist, unbiased while reporting.
