When I read "Taras", the first thing that comes to mind is Nikolai Gogol's "Taras Bulba": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taras_Bulba

Not sure it's related, but (spoiler) Taras Bulba's ending isn't pretty (and he is of Ukranian origin).

And now, 30 years later, the name of this Disney character finally makes sense to me: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Taurus_Bulba

Exactly. I just don’t see Russian disinformation agents using it out of respect of Gogol. Unless we take the idea of fighting against Poles, representing the West, from Taras Bulba?
