hello everybody thank you for watching my video and in this new video I would like to talk about the shortest reign in Russia and in particular about godunov Dynasty the godunov family came from an ancient and once Noble Boyer family there were boers in the Costa principality which had in the second half of the 13th century and early 14th centuries a very complex and turbulent po iCal situation cama and the lens adjacent to it passed from hand to hand several times going in turn to representativ
es of different branches of the family of Prince seot the big nest in 1328 Moscow Prince Ivan danilovich Kalita received a label from Golden horde for half of the grand duy of Vladimir which included kastama so its warer Mitri zerno and then his descendants started to serve to the Moscow subance his grandson Ivan received the nickname gadun the meaning was very different it could meant Pleasant desired or even stupid it was from him that the Goden of surname came from but there is a legion that
godov came from the golden horde murza or Noble as the found of the family who went to serve to Vanita around 1330 this is why famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in the tragedy bis goov mentioned the Tatar origin of his hero yesterday's a slave Tatar son-in-law of maluta researchers believe that the Legion of the Tatar Origins appeared only in the last quarter of the 16th century when the rapid rise of godov began nowadays researchers reasonably reject this Theory but even today there are ent
husiasts trying to find characteristics of Asian cheekbones in the portraits of Baris guno in the 15s and the first half of the 16th century gono's family was not very powerful Baris was a son of federo and was born in 1552 we don't have a reliable information about the first years of his life we first found his name only in documents in 1567 when he should have already turned 15 years old it was at this age when he began to serve to the tar barice began his service at the court of ianda terribl
e which presumably he owed to the patronage of his uncle Dmitri godunov who had served in the palace with the rank of bedguard since 1567 an important position that implied complete Trust from the tar and the possibility of access to personal chambers of San at any time of the day or night bar sister enena who in the future was to become the queen also began to live at the court Baris and aren for a long time owe almost everything to their Uncle their only remaining close relative as their fathe
r F CVO died around 1568 The Mention Of is goov in the documents known to us dates back to September 20th 1567 when Ian the terrible with his troops marched from Moscow to the Trinity Sergio Monastery and from there in the direction of novarad from where it was planned to conduct military operations against the Polish King sigun II 15-year-old Baris COV took part in The Campaign together with the tar in the rank of solicitor the rank of solicitor is a completely ordinary beginning of service for
a young man from a noble family which bares was from his career began during the years of apprich when his vasmi district was taken by theand terrible into Aina immediately at the time of its establishment in 1565 the gonos were also patrimonial owners in the ca District which was also taken by Aina of iand Parable the second reliable evidence of the life path of Baris goov dates back to September 16th 1570 when ianda terrible following news received from the sou borders set out a campaign agai
nst the cran KH dlet jur whose people were moving in the directions of Tula on this campaign Baris goov was appointed to a compan svich or Little Prince Ivan Ivanovic here the 18-year-old Guardsman had a conflict with another Noble foder sitsky the whole problem was about who should stand near svich with the spear in medieval Russia by entering into paral conflict a serviceman not only determined his place among others members of the sance Court he simultaneously stood for the owner of his ances
tors and ensured a worthy place for his descendants but Isa did not won his first battle and Ian the terrible supported his young favorite in this dispute and bis fedich was released from participation in The Campaign which saved him from damage to his family honor however this campaign turned out extremely unsuccessful the Crimean tatars broke through the okar river and on May 24th approached Moscow and burned it the tar in his court did not not have time to prevent the military catastrophe and
fled to the north to ROV probably Baris kov was also a participant in this rapid Retreat 6 months later on October 28th 1571 V the terel celebrated his third wedding aik malatov was the sar's groomsman his friend was 19yearold Baris guno by this time Baris had already become maluta son-in-law which included him in the circle of clo officials and although Marfa Sabaka Ian wife died suddenly 2 weeks after the wedding gono's inclusion in the number of close friends of Scat circle indicated that th
e position of young men was becoming increasingly stronger neither the abolishing of their pra that followed in 1572 nor even the death of his father-in-law and Patron Mal katov who died in 1573 during the storming of the lonian Fortress of paa could not disturb the position of Baris godunov at the beginning of 1575 his sister enen married the youngest son of yan the terrible tarich fer it is probably in connection with this event that Baris receives the rank of krai a prominent position among y
oung officials at the palace his duty was to serve the tar at the table personally pouring wine for him and being the first one to taste each dish it is hardly worth explaining what a great sign of trust disappointment was on the part of the painfully suspicious Ian the for however the marriage of Arina gonova and foder did not promise Baris godunov a further elevation in Korea further was the youngest of the princes at best he was destined to become an Province Duke meanwhile godunov remained i
n favor of Ivan IV in the same 1575 getting married for the fifth time thear again made Baris godunov his groomsman in September 1580 SAR won the terrible again celebrated a wedding as it turned out the last one in his life at this ceremony Baris was already presented with the rank of Boer the chosen one of the 50-year-old groom was Maria nagaya the wedding was celebrated without much pump the atmosphere of defeat on the fields of the lonian war was not conducive to unbridled fun at the royal we
dding in September 1580 in addition to the crowned couple themselves three future SARS and two future seritas were present it was as if some kind of curse hung over the heads of the wedding participants who for fortunately for them did not yet know their Fates the death of tarian in 1581 opened up New Horizons for bues theage f married to his sister was now the most likely Contender for the crown F was unable to rule the country and this gave godunov who was related to him reason to hope for one
of the highest places in the circle of the future tar the terrible was given no time he was seriously ill illnesses were rapidly eroding the strengths of his body the tar himself suspected that he was poisoned in fact in the 20th century toxic substances were founded in his remains which means that he was poisoned either by someone or by himself at that time a lot of medicine contained Mercury foreign contemporaries retold rumors that Ivan IV was strangled by his own Entourage and one of his ki
llers were allegedly Baris cunov this version is contradicted by the well-known fact that before his death on March 18th 1584 van terrible accepted the monastic schema it is difficult to imagine that the tar was simultaneously strangled and tonsured a mon others point out that Baris cunov was one of the last people with whom Ivan the teral communicated before his death the son of Ian the terrible and the last of rovic family was foder he was characterized as the complete opposite of his formidab
le father quiet God-fearing devoted of any interest in power and politics he was married to enina gonova and her brother Baris had a great influence at the court having been married for 23 years she only at the age of 35 would give her husband her only child princess Theodosia whom would die in less than 2 years in another 3 years she would become a widow and spend the last 5 years of her life in the monastery according to the will of Ivan the Terrible a gardian council was appointed under tar F
including Nikita Romanov ivanowski Ivan shisi Baris gdov and bagdan bilski bagdan represented their interest of Ian the Terrible's last wife Maria nagaya and supported the rights of sari Dimitri to the throne but she and her son were quickly exiled to ugit city but his Advantage was also his age elderly competitors from the Regency Council sooner or later had to make way for a arrival who was just entering a respectable age Nikita ranov turned too old and retired from Big politics and in this s
truggle the shuis made a mistake for which they were not forgiven reasonably believing that the strength and the power of Baris goov rested on the marriage of his sister with SAR foder they decided to organize the severance divorce with enena the reason was more than plausible the couple had been married for more than 10 years but they had still no children but the tar should have an air so changing the wife supposed to help to conceive the child According to some sources the daughter of the boy
arm slowski was intended to become the new Queen the sh skis did not take into account only one thing the weak willed SAR fot was very attached to his wife and the jeans of a fierce father was also presented in him he ordered to kill the petitioners who before the death pointed out the real instigators the Sho is these Dukes were sent into Exile in distant cities and their recognized leader Ivan shui was forcibly tonsured a monk and soon died under suspicious circumstances from carbon monoxide
poisoning Mr slavski was also exiled on charges of conspiracy against the tar tar fer allowed Baris godunov personally on his behalf to conduct diplomatic correspondence with foreign sance and they quickly allies on whom political decision making in Moscow most depends and who apparently would inherit the Royal Crown if tar F dies childless it is no coincidence that in her letters Queen Elizabeth of England called Baris goov Lord protector the time of his Reign was marked by the final conquest o
f the lands of the Siberian canade and their inclusion in Russia aaman Yak who started the war against the Siberian K kuchum under Ian the terrible died in 1585 however the Siberian epic did not end there the Moscow State continued to push back the last Siberian KH in 1586 in his former possessions the Russian Fortress of tumin was built in 1587 the city of tabul which became the administrative Center of Western Siberia more and more cities appeared beyond the urals coming strongholds of Russian
colonization of Siberia the southern borders of Moscow Duchess were strengthened in the wild St new fortified cities were built and sometimes old ones abandoned after the Mongol Tatar Invasion were restored in 1585 the city of barones grew on the dawn during the reign of Baris denov the construction of soleski Fortress was completed barisa denov received all the deao power from tar foder the only potential rival behind tar F's back was tarich Dimitri the youngest son of Ivan IV the boy was kill
ed in olage in 1591 the people blamed the murder on the prince guards whom the masses quickly killed konov quailed the unrest and sent a special commission to investigate the matter many speculated that mri's death was beneficial to godunov the official version was that the prince was playing a game with small knives and in a fit of epilepsy stabbed himself it is unlikely that Baris konov himself could have set the sights on the throne in 1591 but he could well have dreamed that the Royal Crown
would go to the children of his sister enina in 1589 Baris had a son fer in the event of death of tarich Dimitri and tar foder didn't have children the son of Baris OV the sar's nephew could also become the heir to the throne it is interesting that the first rumors about attempts to poison the ugit prince began to circulate throughout the country precisely in the year of the birth of foder godunov the most controversial person on the investigation commission was the boyar vasil shisi the sending
of this person to UGL to conduct an investigation seemed to avert suspiciousness of involvement in the murder from ruler Buddies the shis skis as mentioned above were not so long ago goov rivals in the struggle for power having suffered defeat in it they found themselves in disgrace but vasili was returned in 1591 to Moscow and soon after he was appointed to the investigation commission that departed to ulich as for the verdict of the investigation Commission completely satisfied Baris goov the
svich was recognized as a victim Al unintentional but still of suicide of course it is hard to believe that the boy could kill himself so his death has remained as an open question for more than 400 years after the death of tarot an oath of Allegiance was taken to his widow Tarina gonova this guaranteed barice the preservation of his previous position as head of the government and in the future as the Queen's closest relative he could lay claim to the Royal Crown in 1598 fer died Baris and Nina
went to the monastery and power was divided Among boyar The Genius of the step taken by godunov was that he created a split between the Boyers on February 17 1598 patriarch yov who owed his rank personally to Baris godunov gathered in his Chambers the highest clergy Warriors and possibly some of the other officials of Moscow State this meeting later became known as the zimski subor having made a speech to those gathered the patriarch described the sad situation of the orphan Kingdom and stated
that it would not be possible to find a better Sant than Baris good who so successfully ruled the country under tar foder having encountered no objections to his words IO proposed asking Baris goov to accept the Royal Crown immediately threatening with excommunication to anyone who dared to propose a different candidacy so the elections of the tar from the very beginning became uncontested Ordinary People also supported godunov so he became SAR in 1598 and His short Reign he spent in power strug
gles the popularity of the Romanos among the people remained high and saris decided to strike them without waiting for possible hostile actions on their part the plan had already been successfully tested on princes inan shisi and feder shov saxs with various Roots were thrown into the Boyer's chests which were then solemnly removed during a search in front of the witnesses and declared a witch root with the help of which the Romanos intended to kill tar Baris and his entire family the eldest of
the Romanos F was forcibly tonsured a monk under the name of filette and exiled under supervision to the Anthony shisi monastery near arang the summer of 16 01 in Moscow turned out to be extremely rainy and cold and the Grain in the fields did not have time to rippen in addition to this in August Frost hit which completely destroyed the Harvest in the fall of 16001 the fields were sewn with rye and in the spring of 16002 with oats however in 1602 the fields hardly sprouted since the seeds were t
horoughly damaged by the frost and if 160 one the people Elevate with difficulty were still able to feed themselves with old supplies then in 1602 faman was already raging in the country in full force the shortage of breath caused prices to Skyrocket This Disaster provoked by Natural Factors was aggravated by the actions of speculators wanting to profit from people's Misfortune they bought up grain reserves and artificially inflated prices for it the average price of a quarter of Ry around 60 kg
before the famine began was approximately 15 copics by the Autumn of 1601 its price had risen to the ruble which meant six or seven times higher a quarter of Oats was sold for 60 copics and a quarter of barley for 80 copics this forced the government of bis almost for the first time in the history of Russia to attempt to legislatively designate the upper level of prices for bread above which it was prohibited to sell it according to the Royal Decree written in November 1601 prices were ordered
to be cut in half now Rye should be sold at half a quarter it was also forbidden to buy bread in large quantities from 1600 the house of Barce started to deteriorate at the same time a fall Dimitri appeared at the political scene claiming to survive in ugit in 1591 he wanted to get his throne back he received the support of the Polish King sigismund III who while refusing to officially Help The Pretender to the Russian Throne nevertheless allowed him to gather mercenary troops in the Polish Lith
uanian Commonwealth in August 1604 having a small army around 4 or 5,000 people under his command false MRI Advanced to the border of the Moscow State the border of Moravian Fort opened its gates to him without a fight this example was followed by other cities of seers cland Dmitri demonstrated Mercy the prisoners were released for giving their service to the usurper out of ignorance the complete opposite of the actions of the imposture were the actions of the tarus troops sent to the SE Clan wh
o cre ruy and indiscriminately dealt with the population of the districts who had gone over to the side of fals Dimitri having regrouped godo's troops received reinforcements commanded by the Boer Prince vasil shisi the same one who headed the investigative Commission in ugit in 1591 on January 21st 1605 a new battle took place near the village of the brinich this time although the forces of the parties were approximately equal 20,000 people on each side L favored the tar false Dimitri was compl
etely defeated and fled with the remainings of the army to pville on April 13605 bu suddenly felt ill having difficulty reaching his bed after a meal he called the doctors according to those described in the sources of the 17th century he had a stroke now let's talk about his son foder in 1598 with the accession of Baris gdov to the Russian Throne his son fer was officially titled as tarich and air the father did not leave his son a brain into a chance but he was carefully involved in his educat
ion already at the age of five his father began to prepare him for the duties of atar from the age of nine the prince had his own seal from 10 he began to conduct business correspondence constantly sat in the Boer Duma and participated in the receptions of ambassadors gdov hired foreign teachers especially for his son his education included more European values further was an educated man and knew several foreign languages he himself compiled a geographical map of Russia coming to age he had to
get married the bride was already chosen the daughter of the Georgian ruler yena Bon but Baris konov died in 16005 at this moment feder was 16 years old and the domestic situation was not good imposters appeared and gathered from Poland and there was a crop failure at first everyone recognized his authority he immediately established the stone order which made it possible to take under State Control Stone construction as well as as the extraction and procurement of stone and brick production in
Moscow which frequently was burned remembering his father's charity during the Famine of 16163 and knowing the power of its impact on people F also distributed large sums to commemorate the soul of his father at the same time he really hoped to win over the people but then false Dimitri became more active his associates began to ask Vil shusi about the death of tarich Dimitri and ugit which he investigated many years ago this time shusi stated that the prince did not die manipulating the crowd f
alse Dimitri told the people that he could not come to mosco since there was an imposter there who could capture him the people started rioting fer was locked in the palace in 16005 the fade of the short God no Dynasty came to the nend the people burst into the Royal Chambers foder was strangled alone with his mother he was a strong man and resisted for a long time but could not win over several persons Kia for her sister were spared so that she could become false Demitri concubine and after she
would be sent to the monastery it was announced that they had killed themselves since they committed suicide they did did not have to be buried according to the church rights therefore they were simply thrown into a pit near the barski convent for women later the coffin of Baris goov was transported there under vasil shusi in 16006 the remains of godos were solemnly reburied in the Trinity ccus Monastery fer was a tar only for 7 weeks some researchers WR that further would have been a wonderful
King but I hesitate to make such conclusions as there is no much information about him all Raman of rulers had a great European education but not all of them were great SARS that was a story about godon know's Dynasty which included only three Representatives thank you for watching my Channel please subscribe to it and I'll see you next time bye-bye
