Yermak: Sterilized and Restored
Yermak is a great figure of Russian history – the Conqueror of Siberia. That’s what Wikipedia says about Yermak:
This is not unusual when a small dairy names its milk “Yermak”. The caption above Yermak's portrait – “Sterile. Restored.” – takes one aback. If you didn’t get it – restored from powered milk, not from the dead.
On October 26, Yermak captured the capital of the Siberian hanate, Qashliq (17 km from the city of Tobolsk). Since Uchum still had enough forces to resist, he suddenly attacked Yermak on August 6, 1585 in the dead of night and killed most of his people. Yermak was wounded and tried to swim across the Wagay River (Irtysh's tributary), but drowned under the weight of his own chainmail.
