When and under what circumstances did Boris Notkin die. What caused his death. Four deaths of Boris
In history Russian Empire There is probably no more controversial figure than Boris Fedorovich Godunov. He is called a tyrant and a murderer for his cruel decisions and bringing the empire to a terrible famine, as well as for involving the state in Hard times. Nevertheless, under his rule, the country strengthened its external borders and its influence on world society, but due to internal conflicts his place was taken by False Dmitry.
Boris Godunov himself was born in 1552, his parents were landowners from Vyazma. The Godunov family itself descended from the Tatar Chet-Murze, who remained to live on the territory of the Russian Empire during the reign of Ivan Kalita. Coming from a noble family, young Godunov received an education, but did not study church scriptures, because of this he was later considered poorly educated, while he was a very literate young man and had good handwriting, but at that time in the world this did not show his level education.
Meeting the royal family of Boris Godunov
In 1565, Ivan the Terrible tries to seize power and gain it in the most authoritarian way possible. To achieve his goals, he divides the Empire into Zemshchina and Oprichnina. It was in Oprichnina that the lands of the Godunov family were located, and Boris’s uncle Dmitry Ivanovich Godunov enrolled himself in the military corps. Thanks to the boyars, he helped the sovereign become rich, appreciating his merits, Ivan the Terrible brought him closer to the court.
After the loss of Godunov’s parents, his uncle, who was on constant business trips, took him under his guardianship. Naturally, he did not have time to educate his nephew, and he was employed in the Kremlin, growing up with the royal children. Ivan the Terrible loved to talk with Boris and asked him to write down his reasoning. After his sister became the wife of Fyodor Ioanych, he was given the boyar title.
The reign of Boris Godunov
After the death of the tsar, the only candidate for the throne was Fedor, who did not enjoy leading the country at all; he gave this opportunity to Godunov by creating a regency council, which included Boris.
Boris was able to win his battles for power not so much by his position as by intrigue and natural cunning. In fact, throughout the entire period of Fedor’s reign, Godunov himself was the real sovereign. During this time, he built cities, fortresses and temples, and always encouraged talented architects, providing them with his patronage. Also in Moscow during his reign, the Kremlin water supply and the Smolensk fortress wall were built, which was the main defensive stronghold on the western borders.
In foreign policy an agreement was signed that ended the war with the Swedes, a patriarchate was established, which allows Orthodox Church separated from Byzantium.
In addition, a deadline was set for searching for the fleeing peasants. Now they can be searched only for five years, and at the end of this period they were declared free. Landowners who cultivated arable land with their own hands, without resorting to hiring workers, were also exempt from taxes.
In 1601, there was a severe famine in the Russian Empire due to crop failure. Godunov tried to save the starving by reducing taxes and issuing money from the treasury. Prices soared a hundredfold, but the king did not react to this, and the treasury and barns were quickly emptied. Due to ill-considered actions, the country lost almost 130,000 people from hunger.
Death of ruler Boris Godunov
At the end of his life, Tsar Godunov suffered urolithiasis which was accompanied by migraine. Before his death, he trusted only his family; he saw enemies everywhere except his relatives. In 1605, while receiving ambassadors, he suffered from an apoplexy, bleeding from his nose and ears, and the doctor could not help. After his death, his son Fedor became his successor, but False Dmitry quickly seized power. It was he who ordered the entire Godunov clan to be strangled, except for Xenia, whom he liked, but when she ceased to interest him, False Dmitry sent her to a monastery.
Death of Boris
For 20 years, Godunov ruled Russia - first as a ruler and then as an autocrat. IN last years in his life he played an increasingly important role in the affairs of the state " Privy Council"- Neighborhood thought. After the death of the groom Dmitry Ivanovich, Semyon Nikitich, the head of the Detective Department, actually became the head of the Middle Duma. In Moscow he was known as an extremely cruel person.
Polish ambassadors who visited Russia during the days of the Romanov trial wrote that Boris had many ill-wishers among his subjects, and severity towards them was growing every day, so that the Muscovite would not take a step without being watched by two or three spies.
The authorities tried to keep secret everything that happened at the Torture Yard. But their efforts backfired. The most exaggerated rumors about the cruelties of the Godunovs spread throughout the country.
According to Isaac Massa, as soon as a person uttered the name of Dmitry, the royal servants grabbed him and put him to a terrible death along with his wife and children: “and day and night they did nothing else but torture, burn and cauterize hot iron and lowered people into the water, under the ice.” Yakov Marzharet accused Boris that after the appearance of “Dmitry” he “did nothing but torture and torment about this for whole days”, “secretly many people were tortured, sent into exile, poisoned on the road and an infinite number of people were drowned” .
Godunov once won the sympathy of the zemshchina by putting an end to the oprichnina-court politics. In the context of the outbreak of civil war, he inevitably had to revive the repressive regime. This had fatal consequences for the fate of his dynasty.
A thoughtful observer, clerk Ivan Timofeev, noted that by the end of Boris’s life, everyone was tired of his oppressive, flattering, bloodthirsty kingdom, and not because of tax burdens, but because of the shedding of the blood of many innocents.
After the reprisal of the ataman of the robbers, Khlopk, in 1603, torture and executions became an everyday occurrence. The rebellious serfs, townspeople, and peasants could not count on leniency. The state tried to protect itself from the rebels with gallows. In its most brutal forms, terror was used against the lower classes. The authorities fully appreciated the danger when Komaritsa men appeared in the impostor’s camp. As punishment for “theft,” the Komaritsa volost was subjected to an unprecedented pogrom.
The persecution of the nobles was less severe. Both the Moscow autocrat and the impostor understood that the one who could win over the noble class would win.
Extreme measures were applied only to defectors and to envoys of the “thief” who incited the people to revolt. They were hanged without trial on the first tree they found.
The detective department again moved to the forefront. Its head, Semyon Godunov, was interpreted to have insisted on the execution of members of the Boyar Duma suspected of treason. But Boris rejected his advice.
Boris immeasurably elevated the Godunov family. But this family did not give the state talented and popular figures, except Boris himself. At a critical moment, Boris’s son could not find help and support from the numerous Godunovs, who bore high titles and occupied honorary places in the Boyar Duma.
Previously active and energetic, Tsar Boris at the end of his life was increasingly eliminated. He hardly left the palace, and no one could see him. The time has passed when the ruler willingly did good to the orphaned and wretched, helped them find justice, and gave justice to the strong. Now he only appeared to the people on great holidays, and when petitioners tried to hand him their complaints, they were driven away with sticks.
Fatal failures gave rise to suspicion in the king, so alien to him in better times. Kruglits, who had supported him all his life with their advice and help, was rapidly shrinking. Godunov “is full of enchantments and does not undertake anything without sorceresses, even the smallest, lives by their advice and science, listens to them...” wrote a Polish diplomat from Moscow in 1600. One day Boris invited an astrologer from Livonia. A bright comet then appeared in the sky, and the king asked the sorcerer to cast him a horoscope. The astrologer advised him to “open his eyes well and see who he trusts, to firmly guard the boundaries.”
Godunov ordered the holy fool Alena, famous in the capital, to be brought to the palace. She predicted his imminent death. Another witch, Daritsa, admitted after Boris’s death that she had cast spells on him in the palace. The soothsayer, in her own words, predicted that “Boris Fedorovich will not be in the kingdom for long.”
Polish ambassadors recorded a rumor about one of the predictions of the Magi. Frightening the tsar with a near fall, the sorcerers advised him to leave the state for a while: “if he had left the land of Moscow for an hour, and his son Fedor had called him tsar, then under his title that kingdom would have neighed here...” Believing the sorcerers, Godunov ordered it to be announced everywhere about his death. First, he gave the double a potion and put his coffin on public display. Following this, Boris took a lot of gold and “expensive chains” and sailed to England under the guise of a merchant. Even the king's children had no idea about the deception.
Members of the British embassy who saw Godunov in recent months his life, noted some oddities in his character. Being the owner of countless treasures, the king began to show stinginess and even stinginess in small things.
Living as a hermit in the Kremlin Palace, he sometimes left the mansions to personally inspect whether the entrances to the palace cellars and storerooms with food supplies were locked and sealed. Stinginess, according to the British, became one of the reasons for his downfall, although not the least.
Many signs in Boris's behavior pointed to his premature decrepitude. Receiving the ambassador of the English King James I, the king fell into a tearful tone when the conversation turned to the deceased Queen Elizabeth I.
The Emperor was worried about the future of his son and kept him with him relentlessly, “at every opportunity he wanted to have him before his eyes and was extremely reluctant to refuse his presence.” The courtiers, among the learned foreigners, tried to convince Godunov that for the sake of the prince’s longevity and the enlightenment of his mind, he should be given some independence in his studies. However, the monarch invariably rejected such advice, “saying that “one son is the same as no son,” and he could not part with him for a moment.”
At the end of his life, Godunov was tormented by memories of the Uglich drama. Knowing for sure that younger son Grozny is dead, he at times fell into doubt, “almost lost his mind and did not know whether to believe that Dmitry was alive or that he had died.”
Tormented by fear of the impostor, Godunov more than once sent secret assassins to his camp. Later, he ordered Dmitry’s mother to be brought to Moscow and asked her for the truth: was the prince alive or had he been gone for a long time?
Anticipating the approaching end, Boris painfully pondered whether he could count on salvation in future life. To resolve his doubts, he turned either to Orthodox theologians or to learned foreigners. The king asked that they, regardless of the difference in faith, “pray for him, that he may be worthy of eternal bliss.” After such conversations, the sovereign often came to the conclusion that for him “there is no bliss in the future life.”
Under the influence of failures and serious illness, Godunov increasingly plunged into a state of apathy and despondency. His physical and mental strength quickly faded away.
On April 13, 1605, Tsar Boris died. Enemies spread all sorts of fables about his death.
According to one version, Boris allegedly took poison due to the hopelessness of his situation. According to another version, he fell from the throne during an ambassadorial reception.
Informed contemporaries described the death of the monarch in a completely different way: “... Tsar Boris got up from the table after eating, and suddenly a fierce illness came upon him, and barely had time to renew himself and take tonsure, at two o’clock he died in the same illness.” According to the Chronograph, Godunov died after dinner: “after the departure of that table, the time had passed, the king was sitting in his bed temple, and suddenly his death happened.” The autocrat died suddenly, and the monks only “had time to spare gifts of communion” for the dying man.
Members of the British embassy described Boris's last hours from the words of the doctors who treated him. As usual, the doctors were with the royal person throughout the entire dinner. Godunov loved to eat heavily and allowed excesses in food. The doctors considered his good appetite a sign of improving health and left the palace. But two hours after dinner, the king suddenly felt faint. Having moved into the sleeping mansions, he lay down in bed and ordered to call the doctors. The doctors did not respond in time to the call. Before their arrival, Boris lost his tongue and died.
The boyars standing next to the dying boy asked if he wanted the Duma to swear allegiance to the heir in his presence. The king, trembling all over, managed to say: “As God pleases and all the people.” Apparently, Boris Godunov understood that without a conciliar election, his minor son would not keep the crown on his head.
Yakov Marzharet, close to the royal court, reports that Godunov died of apoplexy.
The death of the monarch gave new impetus civil war in Russia.

From the book Life and Manners Tsarist Russia author Anishkin V. G.Tsar Boris died at a time when an impostor was already looming on the horizon, calling himself the surviving Tsarevich Dmitry. The situation was complicated by the fact that many were ready to take on faith the words of the false heir to the throne. The degree of popular discontent increased, and Godunov could not feel confident on the throne. These circumstances gave rise to rumors that the king despaired and committed suicide, thereby avoiding a painful, violent death. There were also suggestions that Godunov was poisoned by political opponents. However, most historians agree that the death of 53-year-old Boris was still a consequence of numerous illnesses that tormented him in recent years.

In the English report on the embassy of Sir Thomas Smith, the last hours of Godunov’s life were described as follows: “The death of Tsar Boris happened completely suddenly and, moreover, at a very strange circumstances. Some two hours after dinner, when, as usual, the doctors present had already left, leaving the Tsar, in their opinion, in good health, which was evidenced by his good appetite at dinner, the Tsar generally loved to eat well and heartily, although now it is permissible to think that in this he even went to the point of excess - he suddenly not only felt ill, but also felt pain in his stomach, so that, going to his bedchamber, he went to bed and ordered to call the doctors (who had already left ). But before they came to the call, the king died, having lost his tongue before his death. Shortly before his death, he, according to him at will, with the greatest haste he was tonsured into the monastic rank, with a new name given to him.”
One way or another, in April 1605 the king passed away. The successor of the deceased sovereign was his son Fedor, who, however, was never crowned king. His reign was one of the record ones in national history- however, not in length, but in brevity. Fedor was a smart and educated young man, interested in science. He was especially attracted to cartography. Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin even called his son Boris Godunov “the first fruit of European education in Russia.” However, the abilities of the young king were not destined to be fully realized.

In confronting False Dmitry, the young tsar failed: on June 1, 1605, Fedor, his mother Tsarina Maria Grigorievna and sister Ksenia were arrested. On the same day, the impostor was proclaimed the new tsar (by the way, he, unlike Fedor, will still be crowned king). Ten days later, the deposed king and his mother were killed - apparently, they were strangled. However, these events were presented to the people in a different interpretation: official version said that the wife and son of Boris Godunov committed suicide. However, the discrepancy between this announcement and reality was obvious. The bodies on display showed signs of violent death. For example, Swedish diplomat Peter Petrei testified to this. “I saw with my own eyes the traces of the rope with which they were strangled, along with many thousands of people,” he wrote.
Since Fyodor and his mother were formally recognized as suicides, they were buried without a funeral service. The resting place of the Godunovs was the Moscow Varsonofevsky Convent for women. The body of Boris Godunov was taken there from the Archangel Cathedral.
A different fate befell Ksenia, Fedor’s sister. “And he, after his entry into the city, vigilantly guarded the maiden, as a slave, without any royal rank, with affectionate coercion, took her out of the royal palace and in a private house, a new nobleman who pleased him and was close to him, without her consent, cut off like an immature ear of corn - dressed in monastic robes. And it would be surprising if she didn’t receive something secretly insulting from the apostate,” clerk Ivan Timofeev said in Vremennik. Prince Ivan Katyrev-Rostovsky was in agreement with this point of view: “Princess Xenia, the daughter of Tsar Borisov, a real maiden, brought shame upon her and desecrated her virginity with fornication.”
On December 5, 2010, the great one passed away Russian actor Boris Borisov. The artist died at the age of 63 in the capital from a heart attack. The theater and cinema figure was buried at the Mitinskoye cemetery in Moscow.

2274 ViewsA message appeared online that he had died famous TV presenter Boris Notkin. The cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to the head. At the same time, the authorities do not specify the name of the person found shot dead in the Moscow region. According to a statement by Yevgeny Kiryushin, a representative of the regional headquarters of the Investigative Committee, the body of a man born in 1942 was found in a residential building.
In fact gunshot wound a pre-trial investigation is underway. As it became known from unofficial sources, the presenter could commit suicide, since doctors recently discovered that he had cancerous tumor 4th stage of development. The body of Boris Notkin was discovered by his wife, who came to visit him at his dacha in the village of Rozhdestvenskoye. Nearby lay a hunting rifle that belonged to the deceased.
A suicide note was also discovered, which explained the cause of the TV presenter’s death - Boris Notkin decided to die immediately, and not leave for a long and painful time.
As the wife of the deceased said, the disease made itself felt in May 2017. Notkin felt unusual attacks of weakness and dizziness. He was admitted to the hospital, expecting to begin appropriate treatment after the examination. However, the results of tests and MRI confirmed the terrible diagnosis - oncology had penetrated too deeply into the presenter’s body, the stage of the disease turned out to be inoperable and incurable.
Brief biography of the famous TV presenter
Boris Notkin was born on August 13, 1942 in Moscow. After graduation from the institute for a long time worked as a simultaneous translator - the list of his “clients” could be the envy of any, the most successful journalist. On the advice of his teacher, he refused to work as a writer engaged in fiction– despite encyclopedic knowledge and perfect mastery foreign languages, had no ability for literary work.
After many years of working in the government, translating information for presidents (Boris Notkin worked with both Reagan and Yeltsin), he was invited to the program “Good evening, Moscow!” as a guest. The conversation turned out to be so interesting and the channel’s management liked it so much that the next day the man was invited to permanent cooperation as a permanent author for a long time.
A little later, the TV presenter, whose cause of death turned out to be suicide on November 11, 2017, had the opportunity to make his own program “Boris Notkin Invites You.” He died, remaining her only inspirer and censor - on television they always called the man the most conflict-free.
At the same time, Notkin himself did not consider himself a liar or a sycophant, it was simply the quality of his upbringing that allowed him to ask questions in a very correct form, without causing aggression from the interlocutor in response.
He was familiar with the entire political elite of Russia, which allowed Notkin to improve living conditions for many artists in live– the presenter always invited guests of his choice to the conversation. Therefore, when Luzhkov, as the mayor of the capital, answered various questions from Notkin, he, in turn, casually mentioned problems with apartments for Tatyana Dogileva and Arkady Ukupnik. This accelerated the solution of problems to a minimum time - within a week, the honored artists of Russia lived in their own apartments, which were assigned to them by status.
First and last wife
Boris Notkin - mother's son, which he did not hesitate to admit in an interview open edition. According to the TV presenter, she gave herself so selflessly to him and his older brother that every girl who spoke words of recognition to Boris was involuntarily compared to her mother. In addition, the parents lived very poorly, separated early and Boris simply did not see the model good marriage In my life. Gradually this misconception dissipated, and Notkin decided to enter into family relationships at a fairly advanced age - he proposed to his wife at the age of 48.
By the way, at one time there was talk about him in the journalistic community, accusing him of being gay.
It's all because of the Italian director Zeffirrelli, who did not hide his attraction to men. The foreigner turned out to be downright in love with the translator’s voice, which dubbed his film “Romeo and Juliet,” which was released in Russia in 1987. He repeatedly tried to get to know Boris better, however, each time the presenter refused him such a relationship, citing his love for beautiful women. In one of his interviews, Notkin mentioned this case, and journalists trumpeted the news all over the world. As it later turned out, after this incident Notkin was terribly embarrassed in front of the director for the incontinence of some unscrupulous journalists.
