In the book “Portraits of the Time of Troubles,” the reader will see completely different heroes of the Time of Troubles of the beginning of the 17th century. So, Marina Mnishek was neither rich, nor proud, nor even Pole, well, and Grishka Otrepyeva physically could not inflate in the monastic cell to become the first impostor in the history of Russia. Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky was not a artificial nobleman and a useless politician who, having committed a feat, took his leave and stepped aside, as tsarist and Soviet historians claimed. Dmitry Mikhailovich was a natural prince Rurikovich – not a couple Bezrodny Romanov, and his plans never entered the “carrying chestnuts from the fire” for this family. So far, not a single historian has told us about the demonic personality, the “black cardinal” of the Time of Troubles Archimandrite of the Chuda Monastery, and then to Metropolitan Krutitsky Pafius. The reader learns about this and much more in the monograph by the famous historian Alexander Shirokorad.
