Mikhail Romanov. The first (and last) “elected” tsar in the entire history of our country... The son of a disgraced boyar, who spent all his childhood years in exile and exile... The founder of a dynasty, the end of which was put by pistol shots in the basement of the “Ipatiev House”... His role in history has ALWAYS been unusual and ambiguous - both during the terrible Time of Troubles and during the Seven Boyars... But what was this role like?
