Is this a good place to confess that I, tsar Dmitri, am still alive
@@bloodstoneore4630 Dmitri! Where were you when the monarchy was crumbling, that was your moment my guy! Now Putin's gonna try to disappear you
I'm waiting for the Alcibiades episode!
Theory: every russian tsar is just Dimitri taking on different personas
*ever tsar and the president of russia
@@thebiglich In other words they're just Putin us on.
Yes

Dmitri Ivanovich: **dies**
Also Dmitri: _"Oh No! ... Anyway."_
"Anyway, I started hussaring..."
It is but a flesh wound!!!!
Don't mess with an angry third grader.
Omg they killed Dimitri
Damn got to play ck3 again
Plot twist : Rasputin was Dmitri the whole time. He just got tired of being a tsar and wanted to be a monk for a while.
Until he got tired of that and wanted to bang the Romanov Tzar’s Queen... and like every woman in Moscow
And later, he got tired of being a Monk, so he wanted to be a foreboding and dangerous man, so he took on the identity of "Vladimir Putin"
Hah funny you mention this but there is a theory that Tsar Alexander I (r. 1801-1825) actually faked his own death to become a monk.
Mork calling Orson
Star trek enterprise in cognito,yeah.
I guess the whole "Princess Anastasia survived the firing squad" thing from the 80's and 90's has precidence.
Seems so, but unfortunately I don't think Dmitri can belt out Once Upon A December as masterfully

Alright let's get the list on what Russia has:
- surviving gas attack without mask
- some weird magic guy who survived poisons
- a tsar who keeps returning after his death
guys surviving a number of letal doses of radiation
And current President who's probably killed a bunch of people using all those methods... Russian history is a trip!
You forgot Putin 🙃
built: different
Y’know. As funny as this is. Some drunk homeless new yorker puts everyone to shame cause this dude was intentionally poisoned multiple times in a pub. But kept coming back to the samenpub
"Kalinka" playing and speeding up every time what "ACTUALLY" happened was described was an amazing touch.
It fits so well.
I love to imagine how Russia probably just had a string of those people we have in every asilium thinking they are Santa just casually coming out of the woods saying how "yes, I am the Tsar!"
The whole "Iam the real Tsar"-thing happened a couple of times. It is similar to the "Iam the real pope"-thing which happened even more often, but has lost its appeal in recent times.
Well let the Santa thing send you the elf,ooooh

I like to imagine after the second Dmitri people just started grabbing people who looked like him in a Life of Brian kind of scenario

How many times do we have to teach you this lesson young men
I love the old people
Teacher: Write 1000 times "I am the tsar"

"He's not the Czar, he's a very naughty boy!"
The people: "How shall we fuck off, O Tzar?"
All Rusians: "No *We* thought you were.....dead."
Dmitri Ivanovich: "My death was greatly exaggerated."
In the Name of Dimitri, Dimitri lives in death
somehow Dmitri Ivanovich has returned for the fifth time
Correction: King of PLC never wanted his son to become the tsar. He stated this publicly in a latter to the polish nobility, he merely wanted some lands and publicly disapproved of his son becoming tsar both out of fear that he'll be killed like many others and becouse nobility was distrustfull of him after he tried to sell throne of poland-lithuania to some habsburg prince and was discovered. He used the letter to sort of point out and say: "HA i could use my son to take over the funny noble democracy that we have here if he was the Tsar! Look how good of a king i am, respecting the law and not trying to install a absolute monarchy!". (source: "Historia Władysława, królewicza polskiego i szwedzkiego pages 156-158). The nobility or the magnates was the prime driving force behind unifying russia and plc into some sort of a triple monarchy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian%E2%80%93Muscovite_Commonwealth and the crown itself was offered by the boyars to king's son as well. Otherwise great video!
"some lands" more like all of our land, you guys occupied Moscow. Russian national unity day is celebrated on the day we beat you. It's the closest we have ever been to total destruction (bar WW2).
@@misharuzov2753 Wow. I think I consider this a complement
@@misharuzov2753 It's complicated, usually where there's two Poles there are at least three opinions. Some wanted just to retake Smolensk (which did belong to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before 1514 and this goal was realized in the end), some were indeed thinking about conquest of the whole Muscovy (Russia). Hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski, who won the greatest victory in this war at Klushino in 1610 and took Moscow was actually against this conflict in the first place. He was the one who negotiated with some boyars the plan of prince Władysław becoming Tsar, after converting to Orthodoxy. He later wrote a book about this war criticising Polish King and condemning the magnates like Jerzy Mniszech, who were the ones to first support the false Dmitri.
@@Artur_M.I wouldn't exactly say retake but yeah the borderlands were definitely the main objective.Ukraine is the result of this. Originally Russian cities with Polish cultural influence.
Dude he didn't die, he's a legendary lord, he just gets wounded for a few rounds.
I like to think that the last 3 times that they "killed" Dmitri, it was a case of mistaken identity as in they stabed a guy who they thought was him and the real Dmitri layed low until he made his big reappearance back shocking everyone. Or everyone who "killed" him stab or slashed him, saw blood and assumed he died when he actually just passed out from being cut. Or he just perfected Rasputin's elixir of immortality and just got bored of dyeing and didn't bother coming back a fifth time.
The Russian evolutionary chain: Rasputin > Dimitri > Putin

Fun fact: the False Dmitry is also known by the incredibly cool name Pseudo-Demetrius
Everything's cooler in Greek.
"Oh my god, they killed Dimitri!"
"You bastards!"
Oh, this is the greatest topic yet.
I agree, Russia is by far the most interesting of the Slavic countries because of crazy stuff like this.
Dude, you can't just repost an excerpt from a History channel documentary in your prologue.
While he had zombies and space aliens in line with almost every History Channel show, there was no mention of Big Foot who is also in most History Channel shows, therefore this video is not up to History Channel standards.
Dimitri Ivanovich is still alive. He's hanging out on Oak Island with the aliens and a certain German artist with a small mustache.
Russia: There Dimitri is finally dead.
Dimitri: privyet.
Poles: You SOB I'am in.
Russia had "Among Us" in 1600s. And "Among Us 2" in 1760/70s.
Just shut up. Please, just shut up.
Among us 3 in the Russian Civil war.
In England:
"Who is your favourite king?"
"Which one?"
"The 5th."
In Russia:
"Who is your favourite Tsar?"
"Dmitri"
"Which one?"
"The 1st the 2nd"
I belive a name is missing
My guy just keep on respawning like a boss.
I'm here because I love opera and this guy is featured in Boris Godunov (the first impostor). The kid version also shows up as a ghost in a lot of productions to haunt Boris who is steadily going mad with guilt. Dmitri then hits it up with Polish princess Marina, who is just as ambitious as he is. Vasily is also present as a slimy little bastard trying to make things worse for Boris.
Epic story.
Even Rasputin would say this is a little extreme.
As I am one of Rasputin's reincarnations, yes this is extreme. Not really surprised though.
For those wondering what happened with the whole succession crisis, the Smuta: the Poles successfully occupied Moscow and the Polish king's son Vladislaw got to be Tsar for a year or two, before a Russian militia led by Knyaz Dmitry Pozharskiy and a Butcher named Kuzma Minin took Moscow back, after which a nephew of Ivan the Terrible's wife Anastasia Romanovna (patronym), Feodor Romanov (surname) got his son Michael to be elected the new Tsar of Russia, and the first Romanov Tsar of Russia at that, while Feodor got himself a nice and powerful position of the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, changing his name to Filaret and being the true ruler of Russia for a couple of years through his son
Well that ended anti-climactically. It's annoying when stories in history end halfway throu-
I've always loved the story of the false Dmitris. Absolutely beautiful.
"You technically can't prove that didn't happen." Then has the flying teapot in the background. Good lord that's great.
2:37 "Not a bastard, exactly. Just a half-bastard." A... half-stard, perhaps?
What's incredible is that not only did Poland occupy Moscow during this crisis, so did Sweden-Finland with a mostly Finnish army.
A weird time
Then few decades later the entire thing is reverses, with PLC on brink of collapse; Swedes ccupying Warsaw and Krakow, Russians sacking Vilnius.
@@TheBard1999 Man, dynastic politics + foreign interests sure do make a great powder keg mix.
Jack, as a Russian, I love, love, love you for covering the Smuta... I mean, totally not the Smuta, but only Dmitri I, of course
Now we need a video about Pseudo-Alexios who basically tried to do the same thing but in the Byzantine empire
Don’t forget the guy who claimed to be the reincarnation of Julius Caesar
The HRE pulled the same shenanigans with Frederick II.
There was even a rumour about his possession of a magical ring that gave him invisibility.
This was the best episode of Ancient Aliens I've ever seen.
“Your supposed to be dead!”
“My death… was greatly exaggerated.”
I wonder if the 2nd and 3rd Dimitri really were the same guy, seeing as how his wife identified him as such.
Ah yes, it was all due to our ancient Polish tradition of glueing together someone's ashes, we still keep Jan 3rd Sobieski alive that way, tho he prefers gardening these days.
@@Ussurin fck, it hurts to laugh already
@@Ussurin you think you're joking but the health minister of hungary wants to rebuild mathias I of hunyad instead of ordering more vaccines
@@thebiglich ...WHY?!
@@Elenrai because the health minister is a lunatic who's obsessed with ultranationalist fake history and think deadly diseases can be survived with praying
The first death being faked is more believable because of the seizure theory. If Dimitri actually suffered seizures then faking his death to hide him away would make sense. It could also be why the church never recognized his mothers marriage, she gave birth to a incapable heir.
Got the notification right when I left my last class for the day, pretty lucky stuff.
As ancient aliens always says “iS IT pOsSiBlE”
I'm not saying Vladimir Putin is also Dmitri...but have you ever noticed how we've never seen Dmitri and Putin in the same room together at the same time?
The fact that this vid was uploaded at 3 am in the morning for me really helps the immersion.
I remember learning this story in my Russian imperial history class and yeah it was this level of insane
Someone needs to make a HoI4 mod were some dude claims to be Dmitri and BTFOs Stalin or something
Sounds like something that could happen in one of the warlord states in TNO
Long and happy life has it .Its curently in devepment.
3:10 Tsarevich Dmitry could play not just with a knife, but in the medieval analogue of the children's game of "nojichki"("knives"). This game has many varieties, but all involve throwing a knife at a target. When I was a child (1980s) the target was made on the ground under the feet of the players, sometimes there were several targets. And the kids threw knives at targets. One day my knife accidentally ricocheted into my leg. Fortunately, the knife was short and blunt, and the wound was not deep. My wound was anointed with "zelyonka" (magic soviet medical liquid green) and I didn’t even have to put any stitches. But if the prince played with a "podsaidashny noj" or “sideknife” (this is a thin and sharp knife with a blade more than 40 centimeters for piercing chain mail), he could easily inflict a mortal wound on himself. Don't let your children play with long and sharp pieces of iron, and your dynasty will not be interrupted! 😉
Царевич Дмитрий мог играть не просто с ножом, а в средневековый аналог детской игры в "ножички". Это игра имеет много разновидностей, но все связаны с метанием ножа в мишень. Когда я был ребенком (1980е годы) мишень делалась на земле под ногами игроков, иногда мишеней было несколько. И детишки бросали нож в мишени. Однажды мой нож случайно рикошетировал мне в ногу. К счастью, нож был короткий и тупой, а рана получилась не глубокой. Мою рану помазали "зелёнкой" и даже швов не пришлось накладывать. Но если царевич играл "подсайдашным ножом" (это тонкий и острый нож с клинком больше 40 сантиметров для пробивания кольчуги) он вполне мог случайно нанести себе смертельную рану. Не давайте вашим детям играть с длинными и острыми железками, и ваша династия не прервется! 😉

I think Dmitri was a Gallifreyan Time Lord, and he simply regenerated every so often until he ran out of regenerations.

Nice Russell’s Teapot Reference.
The best explanation of the four dimitris I’ve found so far, great job
Just discovered your channel and binge watching. Top content
Nice use of Russel's Teapot.
Great video as always, love it when you cover Russian history, keep it up! But I have to say Pushkin actually popularised the whole 'Goduov got Dmitri killed' narrative with his opera and it is actually quite plausible that he had a fit and stabbed himself with a knife. I mean the whole thing took place way before Feodor died and Godunov had no way of knowing that he wouldn't produce an heir of his own and die childless. Besides Vasilii Shuiskyi (who subsequenty became the tsar for a bit) was leading the whole investigation and had no gain from covering up Godunov's hand in this murder since he ended up framing him later anyway.
It's all very messy just like the rest of Russian history but I'm glad you're willing to go into this to give us the best content
I love the animations!! They’re finally back!!
If Magellan TV doesn’t have a show about a monarch who was needlessly brought back to life three times, you can always watch Loki on Disney+
Macho Man Randy Savage. He trains people so hard they can shoot lasers from their eyes after completing a one month training session.
