What happens
The false Dimitri wasn't able to hold on to the title of Tsar for even a year. A prince named Vasily Shuisky from another branch of the old Rurik dynasty conspired against him. Fuelled by the rumors that Dimitri was planning to convert Russia to the Catholic faith, Shuisky and his supporters stormed the Kremlin in the morning of 17 May 1606. Dimitri tried to escape through a window but broke his leg and was soon captured and shot. His body was then cremated, and the ashes reportedly shot from a cannon towards Poland.
