Not only are pretenders not unique to Russia, Perrie counters, but some that emerged during the Time of Troubles attracted followers from non-peasant groups or won little support at all.
Historians have also tended to explain Russian pretenders as a side-effect of peasant rebellion, not only during the Time of Troubles but later in the seventeenth century and even in the eighteenth century.
Prominent Soviet-era interpretations, which Perrie cites in detail, emphasized the theme of class struggle during the Time of Troubles and stressed that the pretenders became leaders of what was a lower-class revolution against the "feudal" system.

 Theology for a Time of Troubles
But it is simply the case that in a "time of troubles" (to borrow Toynbee’s phrase), wisdom, courage and virtue must abound lest the mere possibility of demise be transformed, through our frantic reaction to its menacing appearance, into a virtual certainty.
In such "times of troubles," problems mount to seemingly insoluble proportions; fears, basic anxieties and panic increase; conflicts become more lethal; "civil religions" begin to come apart -- and a process of self-destruction on every level -- economic, political, social and ideological -- may well ensue.
In such times, questions of policy are, of course, uppermost and in the forefront of attention: economic, political, social and international policy.
