In Let. about the rebellions: "Ki. Mikhailo, having heard such a thing, gathered all the military people and told them about Mikhail. They all raised up and did not kill him in peace. Prince Mikhailo ordered him to be buried in the Antoniev monastery" (146). There is no visible attempt on Skopin’s part to judge the matter itself; and about the burial of Tatishchev, but to his imagination appears in a later version.
at his place (4, 7, 8, 21, 24, 35, 40). Skopin's biographer says that the latter traveled to Novgorod "on four draft horses" (Izbor. Popova, 380) *). And from Novgorod he led with him a grey argamak stallion for 65 rubles, a brown stallion for 40 rubles, and a grey light-footed gelding for 18 rubles (Inventory of Tat.'s property, 40), and also carried the original books and inventories of Tatishchev's things.
This is how the Novgorod drama stands out - the prelude to the drama of Okopan Shuisky himself.
Back in December 1608, Skopan notified northern cities about ambulances from Sweden and his first successes near Novgorod. (Collected state rights and agreements P, 343, No. 166). Without a doubt, in this case he acted in the same way as in relation to the Swedish government, presenting his position in a more attractive light than it actually was *). This was his direct calculation.
Only at the end of February 1609 Golovin and clerk Sydavny-Zavovyev managed to conclude an agreement with the Swedish government. Based on it, Shuisky renounced the rights to Livonia for himself and his heirs and ceded the Korean district to Sweden; both sides pledged not to conclude a separate peace and to be common enemies against Poland. The Swedes, fighting in Russia, had to spare Russian cities and even prisoners of Russian origin. Charles IX pledged to send 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 infantry and an unspecified number of volunteers to help Shuisky (Acts of History II, 158, 159, 160, 189, 196). But even later, Skopin’s promises about a quick march to Novgorod were fulfilled: only on April 14, 1609, the Swedish army arrived in Novgorod. It consisted of 12,000 people, under the command of Jacob IIontus Delagardie and the generals: Axel Kurka, Andrei Boye, Evert Gorn in Christian Zoma (Sumy

It was the most diverse contingent, consisting of Swedes, Scots, Danes, English, Germans and French. This is how Sak Skopin reported about the auxiliary army to Tsar Shuisky in May 1609 (Ak. Exped. II, 226) '). The slowness in the movement of the Swedish army (it entered the Russian borders already on March 26 - Widekind, 60) 8 is explained both by the fact that, due to the time of year, it had to bypass the Gulf of Bothnia, and also by the shadow that it was desirable for the Swedes to unite with Skopin no earlier than the time appointed to receive from him confirmation of the agreement - the cession of Korela. It is clear that unnecessary delay only increased the need for auxiliary troops. The mere appearance of the Swedes forced Saltykov to flee from Oreshek to the Tushino camp, as a result of which Oreshek immediately recognized Shuisky’s power; while the Moscow soldiers, according to the Swedes,
