Reform Era historians on the identity of the False Dmitry
Writer Works Conclusions Ustrialov Preface to the third edition of Contemporaries’ Tales of the Pretender Dmitry (1859)a The pretender's identity is still a mystery; all previous accounts have been incomplete. Kostomarov Who Was the First False Dmitry? (1864)b The pretender was neither Grishka Otrepev nor the real tsarevich Dmitry, but someone else who sincerely believed he was Ivan's son. Bitsyn (Pavlov) “The Truth about the False Dmitry” (1864)c Grishka Otrepev was groomed for the pretendership while in Moscow, but he switched places with someone else (identity unknown) in Lithuania. Ikonnikov “Who Was the First Pretender?” (1865)d The pretender was the legitimate tsarevich Dmitry, who survived the assassins’ attack. Dobrotvorsky “Who Was the First False Dmitry?” (1866)e The pretender was Grishka Otrepev. Soloviov “Notes on Pretenders in Russia” (1868)f The pretender was Grishka Otrepev, who sincerely believed he was Ivan's son.
