Description
Boris Fyodorovich Godunov (c. 1551–1605) ruled the Tsardom of Russia as de facto regent from c. 1585 to 1598 and then as the first non-Rurikid tsar from 1598 to 1605. He was descended from the Tatar Prince Chet, who went from the Golden Horde to Russia. After the end of his reign Russia descended into the Time of Troubles.
Boris' life was dramatised by the founder of Russian literature, Alexander Pushkin, in his play Boris Godunov (1831). Modest Mussorgsky based his opera Boris Godunov on Pushkin's play.
