Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dmitri a Dramatic Sketch From Russian History There are few more striking instances of successful imposture than that of the individual who, at the commencement of the seventeenth century, became Czar of Russia, and who is known in history as ´the False Demetrius.´ A variety of circumstances had combined to favour his attempt. The energetic, but ruthlessly cruel, rule of Ivan ´the Terrible´ had been followed by a period of anarchy, and the general discontent was intensified by the horrible and widely-spread sufferings, consequent on a succession of bad seasons, so that society had become completely disorganised, and all classes were ripe for revolt A leader was alone wanted, and when a pretender appeared, and put forward a claim which appealed to some of the most cherished popular convictions, he obtained ready credence and support.
