The Time of Troubles began with the suppression of the Rurik dynasty on the Russian throne: in 1581, Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible inadvertently kills his eldest son Ivan; in 1584 - he dies, his middle son Fedor becomes king; in 1591 - as a result of an accident, his youngest son Dmitry died; in 1598 Tsar Fedor dies without leaving an heir.

In 1598, the Zemsky Sobor, a meeting of elected representatives from the Russian estates, elected Boris Fyodorovich Godunov, the closest assistant to Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, as Tsar. But his reign was unsuccessful. I have no happiness. I thought my people In contentment, in glory to appease, Generosity to win his love - But I put aside empty care: Living power is hateful for the mob. They know how to love only the dead - We are mad when the splash of the people Or the ardent cry disturbs our heart! God sent gladness to our land, The people howled, perishing in torment; I opened granaries for them, I scattered gold for them, I found work for them - They cursed me, maddeningly! The fire fire destroyed their houses, I built new dwellings for them. They reproached me with fire! Here is the black court: look for her love. A.S. Pushkin "Boris Godunov" Fig. Election of Boris Godunov to the kingdom. 19th century engraving

The Kingdom of Poland tried to take advantage of the popular dissatisfaction with the rule of Boris Godunov. In 1604, the former monk Grigory Otrepiev, who pretended to be the miraculously saved Tsarevich Dmitry, presented the right to the Russian throne. At first, the mercenary detachments of False Dmitry, assembled with Polish money, were defeated by Russian troops. But in 1605 Tsar Boris died. His son Fyodor became the new king. He was only 16 years old. He did not have authority. Many Russians believed the Pretender. False Dmitry easily seized the royal throne. Fyodor Godunov was killed. Fig. above: "False Dmitry I" Engraving of the 17th century. Fig. below: K.E. Makovsky “The murder of Fyodor Godunov by agents of False Dmitry”
slide 10
The fate of False Dmitry I The outrages of Polish mercenaries in Moscow turned the townspeople against False Dmitry. The boyars took advantage of this, and in 1606 the Pretender was overthrown and killed. The Zemsky Sobor elected Prince Vasily Shuisky as Russian Tsar.

Residents of the western and southern regions of Russia refused to recognize Vasily Shuisky as the legitimate king and began to fight him. First, Moscow was besieged by troops under the command of Ivan Bolotnikov. The troops of Vasily Shuisky coped with them with difficulty. But then False Dmitry II appeared, and organized the Tushinsky camp near Moscow, from where he tried to rule Russia. Detachments of Tushino scattered throughout Russia. There were especially many of them in the Novgorod land. To fight them, Vasily Shuisky asked for help from Sweden. Rice. from left to right: E.E.

War with Poland Poland was at war with Sweden. The Polish king Sigismund III declared war on Russia and in 1609 laid siege to Smolensk. The defense of Smolensk was led by boyar Mikhail Shein.

The defeat of the Tushino camp Sigismund III ordered the Poles who were in the Tushino camp to leave it and go to Smolensk, which weakened the army of False Dmitry II. Russian troops under the command of Prince Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky in 1610 were finally able to defeat the Tushino people and lift the siege from Moscow. The impostor fled to Kaluga. Fig. above: "M.V. Skopin-Shuisky" (parsuna of the 17th century) Fig. below: S.V. Ivanov "Camp of the impostor"

In the spring of 1610, shortly after the defeat of the Tushino camp, Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky died. At this time, the Polish army moved to Moscow from near Smolensk. False Dmitry II approached Moscow from Kaluga. In the summer of 1610, the Poles managed to defeat the Russian army in a battle near the village of Klushina. After that, the boyars overthrew Vasily Shuisky, and formed their own government - the Seven Boyars. It was headed by Prince Fyodor Mstislavsky. Rice. J. Mateiko "Introduction of the captive Tsar Vasily Shuisky to Sigismund III"

The Poles began to rob residents in Moscow and desecrate Orthodox churches Patriarch Hermogenes, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, called on the Russian people to resist. For this, the Poles threw him into the dungeon of the Kremlin Chudov Monastery. Meanwhile, False Dmitry was killed. Fig. P.P. Chistyakov "Patriarch Hermogenes refuses the Poles to sign a letter"
slide 17
The appeal of Patriarch Hermogenes led to the creation of the first people's militia. It included residents of the Oka and Volga cities, former Tushins. The first militia was headed by the Ryazan governor Prokopy Lyapunov and Prince Dmitry Trubetskoy. In the spring of 1611, the militia drove the Poles out of Moscow's White City. In the summer of 1611, conflicts began between the Tushins and the rest of the militias. Voivode Lyapunov was killed. The militia broke up. Rice. unknown thin "Siege by the Kremlin militias"

After the liberation of Moscow, the “Council of the Whole Land” gathered the Zemsky Sobor in the capital to elect a new tsar There were several contenders for the Russian throne. Among them are princes Fyodor Mstislavsky, Dmitry Trubetskoy, Dmitry Pozharsky and others. On February 21, 1613, the Zemsky Sobor elected 16-year-old Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov to the kingdom. He was a relative of Anastasia Romanova, the first wife of Ivan IV the Terrible and the mother of the last Russian tsar from the Rurik dynasty, Fyodor Ivanovich.

Tsars - impostors Unexpectedly, a fugitive monk Grigory Otrepyev appeared in Lithuania and called himself Tsarevich Dmitry, who miraculously escaped! The Polish king recognized him and gave an army - to win back the "father's" throne. Boris Godunov did not have time to restore order in the country: he died. The heart failed. Or did his conscience torture him?.. Without waiting for the approach of the Polish army, the boyars dealt with the children of Boris Godunov: they killed their son Fyodor, and imprisoned their daughter Xenia in a monastery. The Pretender reigned in Moscow. This Pretender - he remained in history as False Dmitry I - turned out to be a good sovereign. It prevented the Poles and boyars from ruining Rus'. Therefore, they killed him, replacing him with another - an insignificant one, who also called himself Tsarevich Dmitry. And then he decided to put the Polish prince Vladislav on the Moscow throne. They sent ambassadors to the Polish king Sigismund. And he said: "I myself will sit on the throne in Moscow. Rus' will become part of the Polish kingdom!" Then the patience of the people came to an end.

National unity Prokopy Lyapunov from Ryazan gathered a militia and moved to Moscow. The Poles and the boyars-traitors were frightened, they drew up a letter with the order to disband the militia. And they went to Patriarch Hermogenes: "You are the most important in the Russian church. The people will listen to you. Sign the letter!" The patriarch refused and called on the Russian people to oppose the invaders. Lyapunov's militia was small and could not take Moscow. But the appeal of the patriarch spread throughout all Russian cities. Heard it in Nizhny Novgorod. The local merchant Kozma Minin was the first to give all his wealth to the militia. The inhabitants of Nizhny gathered a large army. It was headed by Prince Dmitry Pozharsky. The militia moved to Moscow and on the way grew by leaps and bounds. People flocked from everywhere. And in Moscow, the Poles again demanded from the patriarch: "Order the militia, let them disperse!" - "May the mercy of God and our blessing be upon them!" replied Hermogenes. "The traitors will be damned both in this century and in the future."

It was created from 1804 to 1815. on public donations and was installed on February 20, 1918 (according to the old style) on Red Square opposite the entrance to the Upper Trading Rows. The sculptor depicts the moment when Kuzma Minin, pointing to Moscow, hands Prince Pozharsky an old sword and urges him to stand at the head of the Russian army. Leaning on a shield, the wounded governor rises from his bed, which symbolizes the awakening of national consciousness at a difficult time for the Fatherland. On the pedestal of the monument, decorated with two bas-reliefs, there is an inscription: "Grateful Russia to Prince Pozharsky and citizen Minin. 1818". In 1930, it was decided to move the sculpture so that it would not interfere with the parades.

National Unity Day Russia! It was not in vain that you were known as a mystery to other countries, But the fate of the great country was not always smooth. Sometimes not joy, But sadness reigned over Russia, And often the steel of its blue lakes protected. Sometimes adversity swirled over the country like a black crow, Shoulder to shoulder the people stood up to fight the enemy. And the big country had Generation Heroes, We remember them with excitement on Unity Day!
National Unity Day Our Motherland is the largest state on the globe. Our country is washed by three oceans at once (Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic). It is rich in forests. Numerous minerals lie in its bowels.
National Unity Day In Russia, there are more than two million rivers, and in terms of the number and variety of lakes, it occupies one of the first places in the world. Our Motherland is great and rich, but its main wealth is people. (video “How does the Motherland begin?)
National Unity Day Scientists count 150 languages in Russia. Almost all the inhabitants of our country speak Russian. Russia is a multinational country, representatives of more than a hundred nations and nationalities live in it. People practice different religions. The most common religion among the believing population of Russia is Orthodoxy.
National Unity Day This date is associated with the liberation of Moscow by the forces of the people's militia under the leadership of Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky from the Polish invaders in 1612. Let's take a short digression into history and remember how it was.
National Unity Day The beginning of the 17th century in the history of our state is called the Time of Troubles. One of the causes of the Time of Troubles was the suppression of the legitimate Moscow Rurik dynasty. This coincided with the devastation, famine, desolation of the central part of the Russian lands, which were the result of the unreasonable policy of Ivan the Terrible.
National Unity Day In an effort to overcome the economic ruin, the authorities tightened the policy of enslaving the peasants and increased the tax burden. This provoked protests from the people. The top of society was divided, there were contradictions between the boyars and the nobles. All this led to the weakening of the central government.
National Unity Day And all this was closely watched by the old enemies of Russia - the Poles, Swedes, Tatars, pleased with its weakening, ready to grab a tidbit of Russian land every minute. The Russian state has never been so close to disintegration as during the Time of Troubles.
National Unity Day From September 1610, Moscow was occupied by Polish troops. The boyar government agreed with the king of Poland, Sigismund III, to recognize his son Vladislav as the Russian tsar, but on the condition of independence of state life, the Orthodox Church and national life. However, the Poles were not going to fulfill the terms of this agreement.
National Unity Day The real power in the Russian capital was held by the Polish military leaders and their accomplices from the Russian boyars. The invaders completely robbed the population, burned cities and villages, brutally killed or drove the inhabitants into captivity. The country was torn to pieces. It was about preserving national identity and independence.
National Unity Day Awareness of this fact led to the awakening of the Russian people. He rose to fight for the liberation of the Fatherland.
National Unity Day In the winter of 1611, Prokopy Lyapunov organized a people's militia on Ryazan land, and the inhabitants of Nizhny Novgorod, Murom, Yaroslavl, Vologda, Kostroma and the Cossacks joined him. In the spring, the militia approached Moscow, the Muscovites rose in revolt. But the forces were unequal, and as a result, the first militia was defeated.
National Unity Day Since the autumn of 1611, Nizhny Novgorod has become the center of the liberation struggle. Nizhny Novgorod Zemstvo head Kuzma Minin appealed to the inhabitants of the city to help by all means and means in creating a new people's militia to liberate Russia from foreign invaders.
National Unity Day The patriots received a blessing for the campaign at the Church of the Forerunner in Nizhny Novgorod. It was at this holy place that Kuzma Minin's appeal to the people was made, and money was collected for the militia. He was the first to donate a lot of money. Minin's example was followed by many wealthy people.
Day of national unity Then they began to send letters throughout Russia with a call for a joint struggle. Armed detachments of militias from all over the world began to gather in Nizhny Novgorod. For the united army, a firm and decisive commander was needed, and the choice fell on Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky.
National Unity Day In July 1612, the militia marched on Moscow. The participants in the assault demonstrated a model of heroism, unity of the whole people, regardless of origin, religion, position in society.
National Unity Day On November 4, 1612, the militia of Minin and Pozharsky completely liberated the capital from enemies. That is why the day of November 4 is recognized as the Day of National Unity of Russia.
National Unity Day history of the year, Tsars and peoples have changed, But the time is troubled, Rus' will never forget adversity! A line is inscribed with victory, And the verse of former heroes glorifies, He defeated the people of enemies - outcasts, Gained freedom for centuries! And Rus' rose from her knees, In her hands with an icon before the battle, Blessed by prayer, To the sound of future changes. Villages, villages, cities With a bow to the Russian people Today they celebrate freedom And Unity Day forever!
National Unity Day The memory of the militia heroes is immortalized in Nizhny Novgorod. Streets and the central square of the city are named after them. Minin and Pozharsky Square has become the site of the main city celebrations and entertainment events.
National Unity Day And in Moscow in 1818 a sculptural monument depicting heroes was erected (the work of Ivan Petrovich Martos). The inscription is engraved on the monument: "Grateful Russia to Citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky." In 2005, a copy of this sculpture was installed in Nizhny Novgorod near the ancient Church of the Forerunner.
Day of National Unity November 4, 2005 is celebrated as the "Day of National Unity". This is not at all new holiday rather a return to an old tradition. The celebration of the Most Holy Theotokos, in honor of Her icon, called “Kazan”, was established on this day in gratitude for the deliverance of Moscow and all of Russia from the invasion of the Poles in 1612.
National Unity Day The miraculous image of the Most Holy Theotokos was sent from Kazan to the militia, which was headed by Prince Pozharsky. Knowing that the disaster was received for sins, all the people and the militia imposed a three-day fast on themselves and with prayer turned to the Lord and His Most Pure Mother for heavenly help. And the prayer was answered.
National Unity Day The celebration in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos was established in 1649. And to this day, this icon is especially revered by the Russian Orthodox people. Later, due to the revolution of 1917 and the events that followed it, the tradition of celebrating the liberation of Moscow from the Polish-Lithuanian invaders was interrupted, and today it has been restored again!
Day of National Unity Therefore, November 4 for Russia is a double holiday: the Day of National Unity and the celebration in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. (video "I love you Russia")
National Unity Day Each of us can be proud that our Motherland is Russia, with its white-trunked birch trees, the singing of birds, the babbling of a stream...
National Unity Day On Unity Day we will be together, We will be together forever. All nationalities of Russia In distant villages, cities! Live, work, build together, Sow bread, raise children, Create, love and argue, Protect the peace of people, Honor the ancestors, remember their deeds, Avoid wars, conflicts, To fill life with happiness, To sleep under a peaceful sky! (video "Corner of Russia)
