didnt just live
For no purpose.
And that we've spilt our blood...
...for our motherland.
Those are just words,
Ivan Nikitovich.
Up until now my words
had some meaning for you.
That's true.
Oh, well.
Tell me this.
Before thinking ill...
...think well.
Where was Ghetman headed?
To Moscow.
Right, to Moscow.
To Moscow...
With an army?
Dont halt!  Speak what you
have to say!
And outside of Moscow...
...two forces will
stand in ballance.
And God knows what will happen next.
But we too know something.
We've beaten the beast...
Pounded him.
Pounded him well!
And perhaps we've already offset...
...that very ballance?
Played out our part?
Here it is, our part...
...Although small
But small deeds...
...have great effect.
Devich'e Pole, Moscow
September 1st, 1612
The Russian history did not keep
the full list of contenders for the throne...
...but there were no less than ten...
Well?  Who else wishes to claim the throne?.
The people want a Spaniard, Alvar.
A famous Caballero...
Brave, smart, courageous.
He'd make the best Tzar for Russia.
What Spaniard are you talking about?
Have you all gone mad?
We've agreed...
...No foreigners.
Rurick too was a foreigner
And now...
Everyone starts their lineage
from Rurick these days.
And what if he starts hanging everyone?
Or burn people at the stake?
- No way.
- Why not?
Or, God forbid, send people to Americas?
To fight for the new lands?
If you dont want the Spaniard,
choose Pozharsky.
He'll save Russia, true.
But our heads will certainly roll.
No need for Pozharsky.
But it would be foolish to
choose the Spaniard too.
Choose a Russian.
But make sure he's a quiet one.
With few relatives.
Spain is far away...
Even if his family is big...
...he cant bring them all here.
The army supports him too!
And the cossacs.
Cossacs too?
Lets see his pedigree!
Does he have a pedigree?
does he?
I'm sure.
Start with Rurick...
And make sure he has Ghengis Khan
in his family tree
It's easy to add Ghengis Khan...
But how would a Spaniard be in
the same lineage as Rurick...
...Being that he is Spanish?
Dont ask me these questions.
Think with your own head.
A great Duke Yaroslav the Wise...
...Son of the great Duke
Vladimir Svyatoslavovich...
...married his daughter
Anna Yaroslavovna...
...to a French king Henry the First...
That has conquered the shores
of the Northern Sea from the Brittons.
Charge!
Fire!
The battle outside Moscow lasted 3 days... 
It's so entangled here with the
Dukes and the Kings...
Read from the bottom, what's there?
Ghengis Khan is here...
Rurick...
Is Alexander the Great there too?
Rurick is related through his
son Igor...
Then through the daughter
of Yaroslav the Wise...
And the French king.
Makes sense.
Apparently the Spaniard....
...has deep roots in Russia
Lets pick the Spaniard.
He doesnt know anything
about our past affairs.
In the Spring we'll choose someone else.
If we dont like this one.
If it wasnt for the Spaniard...
...who knows...
...how the battle on Devich'e Pole
would turn out.
This is serious...
and scary...
But we cant be without a Tzar.
Spaniard it is then!
We'll vote together, so there be
no conflicts later on.
Fire!
Lady bug...
"fly to the skies...
...Bring me some bread".
On the 3rd of September, 1612,
the Polish army has suffered a defeat...
...While attempting to storm Kremlin.
Spaniard!
Spaniard!
Spaniard!
Spaniard!
Spaniard!
I will not set foot in Russia...
I must tell.
must explain.
Where are you from, you monster?
From Russia...
I was sent to fullfill an important mission
"And there were angels that did not rebell against God"...
..."But were not true to Him either"...
Will you see him, your Holiness?
No!
Why must I hear to something
I can see with my own eyes?
What a day...
Shoes are too small...
My back hurts...
And now this poor guy...
Who are we trying today?
A
