Лжедмитрий I

Ėtot chelovek imel neskolʹko imen. V raznoe vremi͡a ego znali to kak I͡Ushku Otrepʹeva, to kak chernet͡sa Grigorii͡a, to kak t͡sarevicha, a zatem t͡sari͡a i velikogo kni͡azi͡a Dmitrii͡a Ivanovicha, syna i naslednika Ivana Groznogo, to kak "Rasstrigu" i "Samozvant͡sa", lishennogo dazhe imeni i izverzhennogo iz mira. Letopisi kak minimum trizhdy soobshchai͡ut o ego smerti, i vsi͡akiĭ raz smertʹ ėta vlekla za soboĭ bedy i potri͡asenii͡a dli͡a Moskovskogo gosudarstva. Ne imevshiĭ shansov dazhe priblizitʹsi͡a k vershinam vlasti, on zani͡al v kont͡se kont͡sov prestol moskovskikh gosudareĭ i byl venchan i pomazan na t͡sarstvo pravoslavnymi ierarkhami s sobli͡udeniem vsekh svi͡ashchennykh obri͡adov. Odni videli v nem ischadie ada, drugie - reformatora, edva ne predvoskhitivshego budushchie petrovskie preobrazovanii͡a. Tak kem zhe byl ėtot chelovek i chto tailo v sebe ego nedolgoe prebyvanie na trone? Ob ėtom rasskazyvaet v svoeĭ novoĭ knige postoi͡annyĭ avtor serii "Zhiznʹ zamechatelʹnykh li͡udeĭ" izvestnyĭ istorik Vi͡acheslav Kozli͡akov.

This man had several names. At various times he was known as a Soup Otrepiev, as the monk Grigory, as the Tsarevich and then Tsar and Grand Prince Dmitry Ivanovich, son and heir of Ivan the terrible, as "Rasstrelu," and "the Pretender" devoid of even the name and cast out from the world. Chronicles at least three times report his death, and each time this death entailed troubles and shocks for the Moscow state. Having no chance even to approach the heights of power, he eventually took the throne of the Moscow princes and was crowned and anointed to the Kingdom by Orthodox hierarchs in compliance with all the sacred rites. Some saw him as the devil incarnate, others as a reformer, almost anticipating future Peter's conversion. So who was this man and what was his short stay on the throne? This is told in his new book by the permanent author of the series "Life of wonderful people" famous historian Vyacheslav Kozlyakov.
