Yossel said no to Russian General Rumyansev, a Russian war hero. No business on Shabbos. The General learns to respect Yossel.
I picked this time and place because it fits the narrative of the Partition of Poland and General Rumyansev.
Surprisingly, many years later, General Rumyansev's son helped build a shul in that village. This makes sense in light of the story.
