  • May 8: Tsar Pseudodimitri I marries in the Dormition Cathedral , the daughter of the Polish magnate Marina Mniszech , triggering a wave of anti-Latin protests among Moscow boyars.
  • May 17th: The fake Dimitri , who allegedly became the son of Ivan IV as the Russian tsar , is murdered by revolting nobles. Vasily IV was proclaimed his successor on May 19 by his party friends and was crowned tsar on June 1, 1606. With Swedish help, he managed to hold the throne until 1610 before he could be overthrown at the instigation of Poland.
  • October 28 to December 2: Siege of Moscow for five weeks. After the assassination of the fake Dimitris, an opposition movement against the new boyar tzar Vasily IV formed in the southern regions among his former supporters , which expanded into a social protest movement. Their leader Ivan Isajewitsch Bolotnikow gathers rebellious peasants and servants around him and in July 1606 sets out from Putywl to march on Moscow. After the defeat at Kotly and the storming of Kolomenskoye to Kaluga , the rebels finally left .
