Khlopko Kosolap

Khlopko Kosolap (died 1603) was an ataman of a robber band in Russia during the Time of Troubles. Amid the great famine of 1601–1603 he commanded the largest such detachment, with up to six hundred men, near Moscow; many of the rebels were kholopy who fled estates when their masters refused to feed them.

In August 1603 the government sent a hundred streltsy under Ivan Basmanov against Khlopko. The rebels ambushed the troops and killed Basmanov on 12 September, but were routed; the wounded Khlopko was captured and soon executed.
