Here is the clue: this czar inspired a composer and a writer, but not the author of De Abdallah a Zorrino book!

It's Boris Feodorovich Godunov. He was de facto regent of Russia from 1584 to 1598 and then the first non-Rurikid tsar from 1598 to 1605. You can see the name mentioned on page 2 on the pillar which Haddock collides with. Correct?

Also, Boris's life was fictionalized by Alexander Pushkin in the famous play inspired by Shakespeare's Macbeth. Modest Mussorgsky based his great opera upon Pushkin's play.
