False Dmitriy I
False Dimitriy I (Cyrillic Димитрий; other transliterations: Dimitry, Dimitri, Dimitrii) (ruled 1605-May 17 1606) was one of three impostors who claimed to be the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, tsarevitch Dmitriy Ivanovich, who had supposedly escaped a 1591 assassination attempt. It is generally believed that the real Dmitriy was assassinated in Uglich and that this False Dmitriy's real name was Grigory Otrepyev, although this is far from certain.
