Grishka

Grishka also known as False Dimitry or Dimitry Ivanovich was a pretender to the Russian throne in the 17th century.

He was a monk who was always getting into trouble. He was in love with his fellow monk Sasha Kuznetsov.

Some time before 1605, he stole a saint relic, an orb, from his monastery and run away. The orb was a piece of alien technology, it fused to his chest and began controlling his actions. From then onwards he claimed to be Dimitry Ivanovich, son of Tsar Ivan, who miraculously survived the assassination attempt. As Dimitriy, Grishka managed to find support in Poland and assembled an army that threatened Moscow.

In 1605, Grishka appeared in the bed chambers of Tsar Boris Godunov and choked him to death without touching his body. He then entered Moscow with his army and murdered the heir to the throne, Fyodor Godunov, the same way as his father.

Grishka proclaimed himseld as Tsar and took Moscow. He then activated the alien robot army and planned to conquer the planet, while claiming to the public that he wished to reunite Russia and Poland under one Slavic country. He introduced the leader of the robot army to the court as his bride, Polish noblewoman Marina Mniszech.

The army was stopped after the influence of alien orb on Grishka was weakened by Sasha Kuznetsov, who called to Grishka's true personality and confessed his feelings to him. Free from alien control, Grishka died in Sasha's arms. (AUDIO: The False Dimitry)
