Boris Godunov: Ghosts
Mike Walker's epic chronicle of the Russian Tsars looks at the Time of Troubles and the reign of Boris Godunov. With Shaun Dooley.
By Mike Walker
"Petty thieves hang, great ones escape." Or so goes the Russian saying.
Did Boris Godunov have Ivan the Terrible's son killed in order to steal the throne? And what did he do when the murdered boy came back from the dead - leading an army to steal it all back? Mike Walker's epic chronicle of the Russian Tsars surveys the Time of Troubles, a period that saw the crown change hands 5 times in just 22 years.
