According to the story, the Zaporozhian Cossacks (from "beyond the
rapids", Ukrainian: za porohamy), inhabiting the lands around the lower
Dnieper River in Ukraine, had defeated Ottoman Empire forces in battle.
However, despite his army having suffered this loss to them, Mehmed
demanded that the Cossacks submit to Ottoman rule. The Cossacks, led by
Ivan Sirko, replied in a characteristic manner: they wrote a letter,
replete with insults and profanities. The painting exhibits the
Cossacks' pleasure at striving to come up with ever more base
vulgarities.[3]“

Unfortunately Olaf and Ursula are unable
to insult anyone except their own people.
Maybe you and I can provide free tutorials! ;-)
