False Dmitry is the second, real. Uspensky E.N.

In the history of Russia there were many impostors who claimed the Russian throne. Each time, self -posterity was turned by riots, bloody and merciless. The appearance of the False Dmitry, the “sons” of Ivan the Terrible, almost ended in the loss of Russian statehood, because the Polish king Sigismund was aiming at the kingdom in the middle of a crazy bloody confusion and already entered the borders of our homeland. Who are these False Dmitry? The seventh, disgraced wife of Ivan the Terrible Maria Nagay lived in a little Uglich. She had a son, the heir to the king. Once the boy played in the yard in knife and “infected”, that is, he was stabbed. Yourself or not? Is he died or someone else? The writer Eduard Uspensky is building his documentary narrative on the assumption that one Dmitry was the true son of Ivan IV and had every right to Russian the throne. Who was different, the first False Dmitry?
