May 3, 1606, Marina Mnishek with great splendor entered Moscow. The chariot stopped in the Kremlin, at the Ascension Monastery. The bride was accepted by the monkey-king of Martha, the mother of Tsarevich Dmitry, who allegedly recognized his son in False Dmitry. Five days later, a wedding and wedding took place. However, on the morning of May 17, the alarm struck, announcing the uprising. The amazed half -dressed Marina, having heard of her husband’s death, jumped out into the canopy and then ran into the chambers, where she hid at the hofmeisterin under lush skirts. The faithful servant of Marina met the conspirators with a sword in his hand and restrained the onslaught of the crowd for a long time. Soon the boyars arrived and drove off the crowd, putting the guard to women.
