History: Science or Fiction? Time of Troubles, Boris Godunov, False Dmitry. Film 17 of 24

What are the real causes and consequences of the Time of Troubles in Russia? According to the widely accepted version of Russian history, the Time of Troubles in Russia began in 1598 after the death of tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, who, it is believed, had no children. The lack of a direct heir became the cause of the prolonged Time of Troubles in Russia. However, there is another version of those distant events put forward by the authors of the New Chronology project, Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovsky. They argue that the Time of Troubles actually began during the reign of Ivan the Terrible when power temporarily fell into the hands of the Zakharyin-Romanov clan. After their temporary defeat, the Romanovs continued to fight for power, and in 1613, the first Romanov ascended to the Russian throne. The Romanovs declared Boris Godunov and False Dmitry, the last two rulers of the Rurik dynasty, as impostors and blamed them for all the troubles and crimes that occurred in Russia during the so-called Time of Troubles. This film will present authentic documents and evidence that refute the version of the Romanov historians.
