Dimitry I (Perviy)) (historically known as Pseudo-Demetrius I and False Dmitry I, Russian: ?????????? I, tr.
Lzhedmitry I) was the Tsar of Russia from 10 June 1605 until his death on 17 May 1606 under the name of Dmitry Ivanovich (Russian: ??????? ????????).
According to historian Chester S.L.
Dunning, Dmitry was "the only Tsar ever raised to the throne by means of a military campaign and popular uprisings".He was the first, and most successful, of three "pretenders" (Russian: ?????????? (sing.: ??????????), romanized: samozvanets) who claimed during the Time of Troubles to be the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible, tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich, who had supposedly escaped a 1591 assassination attempt.
It is generally believed that the real Dmitry died in Uglich.
