Welcome to the pilot episode of A Right Royal F*** Up! Here we'll discuss The False Dmitry, a conman who, after the death of Ivan the Terrible, claimed to be the heir to the throne of Russia. Normally pretenders to the throne don't make much of a splash, but he did. He managed to convince pretty much everyone in Poland, Lithuania, and Russia that he was indeed the son of Ivan the Terrible. How did he pull it off? And how was he at being Tsar? Find out as we delve into how Russia royally fucked by giving the throne to a conman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
