EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Medal False Dmitry, created in 1606 by an anonymous artist. Currently housed in the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, this coin-like medal holds immense historical significance. The Medal False Dmitry is a relic from a tumultuous period known as the Time of Troubles in Russian history. It symbolizes the complex power struggles and political intrigue that plagued the nation during this era. The image on the medal depicts Boris Godunov, a prominent figure at that time who served as Tsar of Russia. The silver medal also alludes to key events such as the Polish-Muscovite War and highlights various Russian tsars who played significant roles throughout history. Notably, it references Marina Mniszech and Sigismund III, whose involvement further intensified tensions during this chaotic period. At its core, this artifact represents one of several false Dmitrys who emerged claiming to be legitimate heirs to the Russian throne. Grigory Otrepyev or False Dmitry I was one such pretender whose story captivated many. As we delve into Russian history through objects like these medals, we gain insight into Muscovy's grand duchy and Moscow principality's past glory under different tsars' reigns. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while shedding light on pivotal moments that shaped Russia's destiny centuries ago.
