Perrie, Maureen - Pretenders and Popular Monarchism in Early Modern Russia~The False Tsars of the Time and Troubles

After Tsar Fedor's death in 1598 Russia struggled with civil war and foreign invasion. Referred to as the "Time of Troubles," the resulting seventeenth-century social protest often led to support for impostors claiming to be the "true tsar." Perrie's well-written work examines them (whether opportunists or simply delusional men) and the idea of popular monarchy.
