And he accumulated such a man’s stature that in Moscow they could not find a suitable coffin for him: “Then they will send a bid to find
KOPIN-SHUISKY.
By order of the tsar, Skopin was buried in the Archangel Cathedral, but not next to the royal tombs, but in a new chapel (I. More <current. Nik. let. 132; New. let. and Let. about the revolt.) 1). Skop'g's death caused general sadness in Moscow (Nikon. years. 132; Approx. to Pskov. 59; Tale. Palits. 239); Tsar Shuisky was tormented and crying (Tale of S:|-p. 387); but many did not believe in the sincerity of his sadness (Videk. 140; G«|»kmanZio)2). We will see later that this was not entirely true. I. Given the general distrust between the authorities and the people and the aroused fear of the people and troops in Moscow, the death of Skopil was a fatal event for the present order of things.
Apparently, this event did not change the plan of action: 48,000 Russian and 8,000 Swedish troops marched towards Smolensk against the Poles. The king, however, doubted who to send at his head (Nov..i) g. 115; Nick. 133); But still he sent the same Dmitry Shuisky to ig*ste with Delagardie. On June 24, the Poles, under the command of Zholkiewski, defeated the Russians near Klushipmm, thanks to the betrayal of the Germans and the lack of management of the Russian commander. The Germans were allowed to retreat to the border, and the Russians fled, pursued by the Poles. Russian and foreign evidence and in this case accuse D.
roll an oak block, there is a coffin, put his body in it and put it to the fullest extent in all the auctions, choosing the greatest of all and in whatever way possible to contain his body, and then you plan on it at the ends of the blocks, and so, with need, they lay his body in the block, and bring his body to the church, and then they brought a large stone coffin, according to neither God will be able to accommodate his body, since the cushion is the age of his bodies according to David the prophet, more than the sons of men. And so, having arranged it in a wooden coffin, he wanted to put it in the Chudov Monastery...” Ib.
') In this aisle there is only one tomb of Skopin, built, like the royal one, of brick. There are no inscriptions on it, and on the wall there is also a portrait (9'/* top height and 8 width), written on wood in an old script (az eggs), on the top of which there is an image and inscription of the name and surname Skopin (see 1st ed. Zholk. at the beginning and p. 23 - 31). However, there is doubt that this is a portrait of Skopila.
d) Skopin’s body was supposed to be taken to the family burial vault in Suzdal, but due to the danger from the Poles and the “thief”, an order was made to place it in the Chudov Monastery for the time being. This ego caused displeasure among the people, who demanded to bury him in Arkhang. cathedral, and the king had to yield (Tale of Skop. 385).
V. S. IKONNIKOV,
Shuisky, since he did not want to give money to the hired army when he had money, and as a result the Germans changed (Nick. 134; New Years. 115; Zholk. 102) *).
Dmitry Shuisky remained true to himself in this fatal battle 3). According to Zholkiewski, he ran hastily, although few followed him; his horse got stuck in a swamp, and he lost his shoes and, barefoot, on a skinny peasant nag, arrived at the monastery near Mozhaisk. Having obtained horses and shoes there and advised the residents of Mozhaisk to ask the enemy for mercy, he also hastily set off for Moscow (Zap. 103) 8).
Meanwhile, a thunderstorm was rising against Tsar Shuisky from the other side. As soon as the news of Skopin's death spread, Lyapunov began negotiations with both the Kaluga Tsar and you. You.
') “They came to Klushin.... The Germans are with Prince Dm. Iv. started asking for money under the contract, so that they could be given the rent they deserved. The prince has Dm. Iv. There was a lot of money in the treasury at that time, but the Germans wouldn’t hire them, they were past their deadline, as if they didn’t have that much money. The Germans became embittered about this, and sent their own ambassador Ivengor (Evert Horn) to Zholkevsvomu, ordering him to come without delay to the Moscow regiments, promising him that he would not help Moscow." And he fulfilled his promise. During negotiations with the Swedes in 1616, Delagardie attributed the defeat to treason the Germans who were in the detachment of his army and recognized the non-payment of money to Dm. Shuisky, who had it, as the reason for the betrayal. As for the Russian army, it was exhausted by long marches during the heat (Soloviev, IX, 104-106).
*) Widekind says that D. Shuisky hid in the camp during the battle and, out of danger, looked at everything that was happening before his eyes.
