[ Great Russian historians: On the Time of Troubles]
Moscow: AST, Astrel`, Khranitel`, 2007 735 p Serie: Istoricheskaia biblioteka Hardcover. 14 x 21 cm ISBN: 9785170476909 Language: Russian
This is anthology of classic works of Russian historians about the internal crisis and social struggle in the Moscow government XVI and XVII centuries: the phenomenon of imposture and its amazing success, the pace and readiness to swear allegiance manifested by the boyars, the clergy, the nobility and the peasantry to Godunov, the Impostor Shuiski, then yet another Impostor, the Polish prince Vladislav. The breaking point was 1612 when the interim government was formed in Yaroslavl, and in half a year the volunteer army led by D. Pozharski freed Kitai-Gorod and the Kremlin from the Poles. The anthology includes works by V. Tatishchev, N. Karamzin, S. Solov`ev, V. Kliuchevskii, and D. Ilovaiskii.
