	Shuisky Basil IV - LoveToKnow 1911
		It was he who, in obedience to the secret orders of Tsar Boris, went to Uglich to inquire into the cause of the death of Demetrius, the infant son of Ivan the Terrible, who had been murdered there by the agents of Boris.
		Shuisky then plotted against the false Demetrius and procured his death (May 1606) also by publicly confessing that the real Demetrius had been indeed slain and that the reigning tsar was an impostor.
		In 1610 he was deposed, made a monk, and finally carried off as a trophy by the Polish grand hetman, Stanislaus Zolkiewski.

	Boris Godunov opera by Musorgskij
		Shuisky skilfully plays on Boris´guilty conscience over the murder of the young successor to the throne and, when he takes his leave, the Tsar collapses in pain and anguish.
		All of the boyars try to outdo each other with opinion as to how this intruder should be dealt with: Shuisky is accused of spreading false rumours among the people but he counters the accusations and tells of how he has seen Boris on the edge of a complete mental and psysical breakdown.
		Shuisky has persuaded Pimen to come and tell Boris of the miracles that have taken place at the tomb of the heir to the throne.

	Our Homeland [The Voice of Russia]
		The conspiracy was led by a high-born boyar Vassily Shuisky.
		Shuisky sent out missives throughout the country to expose the False Dmitry as the man who used the devil’s powers to ascend the throne and who enchanted the Russian people.
		Vassily Shuisky was deposed in another revolt, and the country again found itself with no Tsar at the helm, at a time when the people were badly in need of a strong leader.

	Shuisky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shuiskys represented a senior line among the descendants of Vsevolod the Big Nest and therefore treated the ruling princes of Muscovy with arrogance.
		During the later part of Ivan IV's reign, the Shuiskys wisely stood aloof from macabre politics of the Oprichnina.
		The last of the Russian Shuiskys were four brothers - Vasily Shuisky (the Russian tsar as Vasily IV), Dmitry Shuisky (infamous for having poisoned his brilliant cousin, Prince Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky), Alexander Shuisky, and Ivan Shuisky-Pugovka ("the Button").

	Polish and Russian Political History - Ivan IV, Called The Terrible, 1534-1584
		Vasily Shuisky, 24 years earlier, had prevented Smolensk from falling into the hands of the Poles, after the catastrophe of Orsza, by hanging all the principal citizens on the ramparts of the fortress in the sight of the besieging army.
		This formidable rival was the Boyar Ivan Byelsky, a descendant of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gedymin, and connected by marriage with the reigning Grand Duke of Moscovy.
		But the Shuiskies had strong supporters among the Boyars of Great Novgorod where the family was very popular (a Shuisky had been the last Governor of independent Novgorod) ; and a conspiracy was formed against Byelsky and the Metropolitan.

	The Time of Trouble - Olga's Gallery
		Part II After False Dmitry I was killed, the throne did not remain empty for long, the Boyars “elected Vasily Shuisky to be their tsar,” and demanded that he forfeit some of the tsar’s rights.
		Shuisky had been a tsar hardly any time, when another False Dmitry appeared on the Polish border, claiming that he had managed to escape the Moscovite intrigue.
		Moscow and the tsar Vasily Shuisky didn’t have time to celebrate their victory over False Dmitry II, the Polish king Sigismund II Augustus (1520-72), started a war against Russia in September 1609.

	Dvorak Dimitrij [CC]: Classical CD Reviews- Jan 2003 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		A brief synopsis is as follows: After the death of Boris, the Russian people are split between the followers of the Godunov family (led by Shuisky) whilst others (led by General Basmanov) support Dmitrij, assumed son of Ivan the Terrible and husband to the Polish Marina of the Sandomir family.
		Magdaléna Hajóssyóvá is a powerful Marina with a clean attack, but is not quite believable (she does rather sound as if she is singing with her head in a score).
		Ivan Kusnjer as Shuisky is more than adequate, but could possibly have brought greater drama and malignancy to the part: his description of Dimitrij as 'the Polish Satan' could have been more powerfully declaimed, for example.

		Meanwhile Shuisky is able to make an agreement with Sigismund which brings about a kind of armistice and the withdrawal of Polish-Lithuanian troops serving with the insurgents.
		Michael Shuisky dies and is replaced by Prince Dimitry Shuisky--the Shuisky family is bound and determined to get to the seat of power--who in turn is defeated by the Hetman Zolkiewski and his Cossacks.
		Finally the boyar tsar Vasili Shuisky, who had managed to hang on to the slim threads of power, is dethroned and a government made up of the boyar duma takes over in July 1610.

	Reizen Boris Godunov
		Valery Gergiev's Philips recording of the Coronation Scene from the Shostakovich version with his Kirov Opera forces (442 775) is a tantalizing glimpse of what we could expect, but it is unlikely he will record it in its entirety as he has recently recorded the Mussorgsky original.
		This superb performance was once available on EMI Classics (65192) boasting fine, well-balanced monophonic sound with a particularly impressive Coronation Scene that seems to have an endless supply of massive bells.
		Christoff’s second recording, in resplendent stereo, was made in 1962 with another stellar supporting cast including Evelyn Lear as Marina, John Lanigan as Shuisky, Anton Diakov as Rangoni and Dimitri Ouzounov as Grigory/Dimitri, with the Sofia National Opera Orchestra and Paris Conservatory Orchestra conducted by Andre Cluytens (EMI 47993).

	Living at the Opera: Boris Godunov reigns in the Southwest
		Throughout most of the scene, he has Pavel Derkach, portraying Shuisky, and Umerov face the audience with Umerov standing behind and to the right of Derkach so that both men's faces and body movements are seen full face.
		The scene culminates with Boris throwing Shuisky to the ground in rabid frustration and Shuisky getting up and running out, all the while threatening to ruin Boris.
		This scene is reminiscent of two of Verdi's great operatic moments: Otello's anger and frustration with lago as the latter plants the seed of jealousy that will lead to Otello's ruin, and King Philip's bitterness at the Grand Inquisitor's power to rob Philip of his authority as king in Don Carlos.
