Prologue : l’ombre du tsar Ivan. 1ère partie : l’ascension de Boris Godounov (tsar et boyards, l’étoile de Boris Godounov, le temps des incertitudes, la tiare et la couronne, les deux aigles, les complots des princes Chouïski, forces et faiblesses de Boris). 2ème partie : Le tsarévitch de l’ombre (le drame d’Ouglitch, les mystères de l’enquête, la « grande trahison » des Nagoï, la lignée des tsars, la lumière et ses ombres, « qui est Grigori, qui est Dimitri », les marches du trône, le Sobor de 1598, fragile victoire). 3ème partie : Le tsar Boris (le tsar et les fugitifs, le temps des illusions, le commencement de la guerre de l’ombre, le noir tournant, le feu sous la cendre, la grande famine, la montée de la révolte, les voies du tsarévitch, l’an 1604). 4ème partie : L’affrontement (Le château de Sambor, Dimitri à Cracovie, le trône et l’autel, les incertitudes de Boris, le retour du tsarévitch, le sort des combats, le long hiver, le tsar foudroyé, l’embrasement des steppes, la révolte de Moscou). 5ème partie : Le tsar Dimitri (le retour du vrai soleil, la revanche sur le drame d’Ouglich, coups de vent sur le Kremlin, l’ombre polonaise, le réseau de la trahison, le bouillonnement des passions, les noces tragiques, le calvaire du tsar, le paiement du crime).

‎La thèse avancée par l’auteure dans ce livre est contestée par de nombreux historiens. A la mort de Boris Godounov en avril 1605, son fils, Fédor II, lui succéda. Il fut assassiné au bout de deux mois de règne et un imposteur (Otrepiev) prit le pouvoir, en se faisant passer pour Dimitri, dernier fils d’Ivan le Terrible, mort mystérieusement en 1591. Il ne régna que 11 mois avant d’être lui-aussi assassiné. L’auteure affirme qu’Otropiev était bien le vrai Dimitri, sans semble-t-il amener beaucoup de preuves. Plusieurs autres faux Dimitri, suivirent … Histoire ? Roman historique ? Au lecteur de juger.‎

‎Les Instructions adressées par Sa Majesté l'impératrice de toutes les Russies établies pour travailler à l'exécution d'un projet d'un nouveau code de lois, plus connu sous le nom de Nakaz est un traité de philosophie politique écrit par Catherine II de Russie, et édité en 1767. L'impératrice y présente ses théories politiques inspirées de Montesquieu et Beccaria à lintention de la commission des lois de son pays, réunie en 1767 dans le but de remplacer le code des lois moscovite par un texte moderne. Ce texte proclamait l'égalité de tous les hommes devant la loi et désapprouvait la peine de mort et la torture.Écrit par Catherine II en français et traduit en russe par ses soins, le Nakaz sera publié parallèlement en russe et en allemand le 10 août 1767. Il sera également publié en italien. La version russe de ce texte, qui est la seule version officielle, sappuie sur le document signé et scellé par limpératrice, conservé aux Archives dactes anciens à Moscou.Denis Diderot a commenté l'ouvrage dans ses Observations sur le Nakaz (1774), à la suite des nombreux entretiens qu'il a eus avec l'Impératrice. A lune des Instructions de Catherine II qui copie littéralement Montesquieu, il répond : « Tout ce que vous dites-là est fort beau ; pourquoi avez-vous donc fait le contraire ? »‎
