Tsarevich Ivan Dmitriyevich

On 17 May 1606, conspirators who opposed Dmitri and his policy of close cooperation with Poland, broke into the Moscow Kremlin.

After the death of False Dmitry I, Marina was spared her life – after she had rejected her royal title – and sent back to Poland in July 1608.

Polish hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski wrote in his memoirs that the only two things False Dmitris I and II had in common was that they were both human and usurpers.

This marriage would soon share the same fate as her previous one, as Dmitry II was killed by a Tatar prince, Peter Urusov.

Zarutsky was thinking he would have established his position as de facto ruler of the Tsardom of Russia for a long time.

When Tsar Michael I of Russia was elected, the citizens of Astrakhan wanted the pretender and his family to leave the town.

[1] Just five months after the deaths of her son and husband, Marina died in prison on Christmas Eve, 24 December 1614.
