False Tsars

False Tsars

Nichola V. Riasanovsky
4/5 ( ratings)
Covering all pretenders to the Russian throne from the Times of Troubles to the end of the nineteenth century, this book stops just short of the false Alekseis and false Anastasias of our time. Explaining why some of the pretenders attracted wide social support, which others lacked, the author examines the role of self-fashioning and impersonation in Russian culture. SzvAk focuses on three principal "waves" of pretenders: the false Dimitris , the false Peters , and the false Constantines of the nineteenth century .
