Bio   Russia was not the best to be living in the early 17th century.  The short reign of Boris Godunov (subject of an opera by Modest Mussorgsky and a play by Alexander Pushkin) was followed by the even shorter reign of his son.  And then it was Prince Dmitri's turn - except Dmitri was dead of an accident during a bout of epilepsy or murder at Boris' hands.

 

Fortunately for Boris' opponents, they had a stand-in / new Dmitri (False Dmitri One) in their midst who was crowned in 1605.  In 1606, Dmitri (False Dmitri One) was married to a young Polish noblewoman whose father was his long-time supporter.   Within a month, Czar Dmitri (False Dmitri One) was dead, and Marina was sent back to Poland.

Unrest followed, but the new czar, Basil IV, couldn't handle things.  The people wanted a Dmitri.  A newer Dmitri (False Dmitri Two) was produced whom Marina accepted as her husband. 

Czar newer Dmitri (False Dmitri Two) was assassinated in 1610 so Marina was free to take up with a leader of the Don Cossacks. 

No wonder this period of Russian history is referred to as The Time of Troubles.  Nancy

Tony Curtis made a Cossack movie, Taras Bulba, that probably hasn't aged well since I saw it several hundred years ago, but check it out if you like old fashioned Hollywood epics.  Besides, Yul Brynner played the title role so how bad could it be?  Nancy   

  1962
