Smutyan-Tsarevich. Krupin M.

This is the story of an extraordinary accession to the Moscow throne of the only Russian impostors who became the king. This is a tragedy of power and crafty time. Natural cataclysms, hunger, epidemics, cannibalism... The ringing of blades and bells, bloody battles, torture... take off and fall of yesterday's bore of fate, Kremlin intrigues and bedrooms... The inside of church life and the strength of their native shrines, Cossack freemen... These are unexpected parallels of the past with modernity. This is an era.
