Painting depicting the final moments of the infamous Tsar False Dmitry I.

On the morning of 17 May 1606 huge numbers of boyars and commoners stormed the Kremlin. Dmitry tried to flee by jumping out a window, but fractured his leg in the fall. He fled to a bathhouse and tried to disappear within. But he was recognized and dragged out by the boyars, who killed him lest he successfully appeal to the crowd.
His body was displayed then cremated, with the ashes allegedly shot from a cannon towards Poland.
