About the book: 2002 / Historical Research "The Path to the Throne" is a unique work that has no analogues in fiction or non-fiction literature. It represents the history of the ancient family of Koshkins—Zakharyins—Romanovs. The heroes of the book are dozens of people from nine generations of this family, and the action takes place over three centuries. The author gives his interpretation of the events of the Time of Troubles, which differs in many respects from the generally accepted one, and presents all versions of the election of Mikhail Romanov to the kingdom.
