Omschrijving

Delve into the tumultuous life and reign of Boris Godunov, one of Russia's most enigmat-ic and controversial leaders. Boris Godunov: Rise and Fall of a Tsar unravels the story of a ruler whose ambition, political cunning, and tragic downfall mirrored the chaos of the Time of Troubles-a period of famine, political unrest, and foreign invasion that shaped the course of Russian history. Andrew West paints a vivid portrait of Godunov's ascent to power, from his roots in the boyar class to his role as de facto regent, and finally, his coronation as Tsar. The narra-tive explores his political maneuvers, reforms, and the challenges he faced, including accusations surrounding the mysterious death of Tsarevich Dmitry. It also delves into the societal and geopolitical forces that ultimately led to Godunov's undoing. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, this book offers a deeper un-derstanding of a ruler caught between ambition and adversity, as well as the seismic events that marked Russia's transition from medieval statehood to early modern autoc-racy. Perfect for history enthusiasts and those intrigued by the complexities of power and its consequences, this work brings to life the pivotal turning points of one of Russia's darkest yet most transformative eras.
