Does Olearius's account help explain Stenka Razin's rebellion?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

No, Olearius's account does not directly explain Stenka Razin's rebellion as they were not contemporaries and did not have direct interactions. Razin's revolt in 17th-century Russia was motivated by grievances of the Cossacks and peasants against the oppressive conditions under Tsarist rule, rather than influenced by Olearius's works.
