False Dmitry II
False Dmitry II (, other transliterations: Dmitriy, Dmitri, Dmitrii), also called the thief of Tushino, was the second of three pretenders to the Russian throne who claimed to be tsarevich Dmitry, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible. The real Dmitry had died under uncertain circumstances, most likely an assassination attempt, in 1591 at the age of seven at his widowed mother's appanage in Uglich.
