The old Russian town of Uglich stands on the Volga River, just in that picturesque place where it makes a steep break. The history of Uglich is inextricably linked with the Time of Troubles.
The city has become the arena of epoch-making events in the history of the Russian state. On May 15, 1591, in the Uglich Kremlin, under mysterious circumstances, the last offspring of the ruling Rurik dynasty, Tsarevich Dmitry, the son of Ivan the Terrible, died. Here, with the death of Tsarevich Dmitry, the Rurik dynasty ended, and here the Romanov dynasty began: the Uglian noblewoman Ksenia Shestova, the mother of the first tsar of the dynasty Mikhail.
