Their names are too Russian.

Boris Badenov is a play on the name Boris Godunov, who held power in Russia following the death of Ivan IV (Terrible). Godunov first served as regent for the feeble-minded Feodor I, and then as the first non-Rurikid Tsar of Russia.

Feuding between his and other Boyar families regarding the line of succession to the throne led to an interregnum known as “The Time of Troubles” and to the subsequent establishment of the Romanaov dynasty.
