1. Pyotr "Have My Cake and Eat it Too" Yakovlev A lieutenant colonel whose interest in protecting stability in Kherson is tied to his role as timber provisioner of the naval shipyards. Prince Zubov's man-on-the-ground, Yakovlev is first to be informed of an impending disturbance by Police Chief Volkov. Requests troops to maintain order and is up to his knees in the subsequent investigation. Guilty of fabricating portions of the story and spreading misinformation. Large sums of money pass through his hands and Mordvinov suspects him of being a spy.

6. "Rabble-Rousers-are-Us" from Nikolaev On Sunday August 10, 1796, the crowds at the market place in Nikolaev (Mykolaiv) yelled "ura!" and seized 6 carts of watermelon. 6 men were arrested: Korochkin, from the 90-gun Sozon, Stepan Efimov, who arrived on a cutter transporting officers from the brigantine Nikodim, Osip Baskakov, who came with officers from the frigate Nikon, a skipper named Koverin, a ship carpenter named Filip Kuz’min, and a garrison soldier named Yakov Yakovlev. Tales of their exploits would soon make their way to Kherson.
