Hardback. New. This is the first scholarly account by a western historian of the Time of Troubles, the period of civil war and foreign invasion in early seventeenth-century Russia. Maureen Perrie looks at the wave of pretenders and royal impostors that swept Russia, and shows how such figures could be the vehicle for profound social protest. ISBN 0521472741 9780521472746 [GB]

ISBN10: 0521472741, ISBN13: 9780521472746, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - More than a dozen pretenders appeared in Russia in the early seventeenth century, during the period of civil strife and foreign invasion known as the Time of Troubles. The most successful of these was the First False Dimitry, who occupied the throne in 1605-6; he was followed by Second and Third False Dimitrys, and by various other impostors. Maureen Perrie traces the careers of these pretenders and offers explanations of their success. She argues that support for the false tsars and tsareviches was influenced not only by the ingenious tales they told to justify their claims, but also by religious-miraculous notions of Christ-like rulers risen from the dead, and by 'popular monarchist' views of the true tsar as the scourge of the boyars. Her conclusion draws comparisons and contrasts between the Russian pretenders and royal impostors who appeared elsewhere in early modern Europe.
