The figure of Boris Godunov provokes a clear rejection among many historians. It is portrayed “insidious”, “hypocritical”, “crafty”, or “criminal”, which ultimately became the culprit of the Great Troubles of the beginning of the 17th century, when the Russian state was actually destroyed. But is it really so? Is Boris guilty of a terrible crime - the murder of Tsarevich Demetrius? Perhaps the whole life of Boris Godunov poses the most pressing issues to the descendants. How to rule in order to earn the love of their subjects, and should the supreme power strive for this very love against the strategic interests of the state? What do betrayal and apostasy from the interests of the country mean in the name of current, clan benefits and preferences? Somewhere a measure, which can measure the righteousness of the rulers, and what interests should express and defend power in order to earn the recognition of the descendants?
