And into the choas came not one, not two, but at least three people claiming to be Dmitry, who had miraculousy escaped death.  The Time of Troubles, as the Russians called it, was defined in part by a series of wars called the "Dmitriads".

But it was a near thing: and the world could have turned out a lot different if events had gone differently.
