Supposed to have been a Deacon called Sidorka, he appeared suddenly, from behind the river Narova , in the Ingria n town of Ivangorod , proclaiming himself the tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich, on the 28th of March 1611 . The Cossacks , ravaging the environs of Moscow , acknowledged him as Tsar on the 2nd of March 1612 , and under threat of vengeance in case of non-compliance, the gentry of Pskov also kissed the cross to the ''thief of Pskov'', as he was usually nicknamed. On the 18th of May 1612 he fled from Pskov, was seized and delivered up to the authorities at Moscow, and there executed. SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
