They sent to Poland to secure there a new Fos Dimitri, and the Poles were quite ready to encourage civil war in Russia and thus weaken a rival at whose expense Poland might grow rich.
The new adventurer, as to whose origin nothing certain is known, maintained that he was Dimitri and that he had escaped from the May massacre in Moscow.

Schruiski, threatened by danger so near, turned for assistance to Zigismund's enemy, Charles II of Sweden.
Five thousand Swedes, under the able generals de Lagardier and Horn, came to his relief and easily routed the undisciplined mob of rebels in sixteen oh eight.
When Zigismund saw that the thief of Tushino was making no headway, he deemed it best to turn the civil troubles of Russia wholly to his own advantage, declared war against that empire in sixteen oh nine, and after a long and heroic resistance took the important fortress of Smolensk.

These disturbances gave rise to a profound dissatisfaction with Schruski's rule.
The discontent broke out in open rebellion when, in june sixteen ten, a Polish army under Stanislav Rukiewski won a brilliant victory over the Tsar at Moshaysk.
The Moscavites rose against their ruler and forced him to submit to the Tonsur and enter a monastery.
The rapid approach of the Poles forced the Council of Boyars to acknowledge Vladislav, son of Zigismund as Tsar, but not before he had pledged himself to protect the Greek church, indeed to join it, as well as to admit the cooperation of the Bojars in legislation and in levying the taxes.
The newly elected Tsar did not abide in Russia long, but soon returned to Poland.
His father seemed disposed to make use of his son's new dignity, for the purpose of plundering and robbing Russia, and a Polish garrison kept Moscow in order by fire and sword.
Complete anarchy now prevailed in sixteen eleven.
Marina Mnichek proclaimed as Tsar her son by the Tushino thief.
A third, Pseudodimitri, arose in the person of the Deacon Isidor, who found adherence in Psov.
The Lagardy and his Swedes seized the fortress of Kexholm, in Russian Finland, and forced Novgorod the Great to recognize a Swedish prince, Charles Philip, as Tsar.
