The Godunovs are a famous Russian noble family that ceased to exist three centuries ago. Representatives of this family were kings, nobles, clerks, were members of the Boyar Duma, and led the main regiments during military campaigns. According to the famous historian-researcher S. B. Veselovsky, the Godunovs were distinguished by “absolutely exceptional cohesion and loyalty to the old boyar traditions” and were able to “preserve clan discipline for three centuries.” There are many myths associated with this dynasty, which to this day excite researchers and people interested in the history of the country. We can say with absolute certainty that the Godunovs occupy a special place in the Russian national consciousness.
