The czar of Russia has died and a power vacuum has developed. This period in the late 16th and early 17th century has been called "The Time of Troubles." There are many impostors who claim to the right to rule, but there's only one heir, the Czarina Kseniya Godunova. She has married a Polish military leader who wants to claim the Russian throne in her name so he can rule all of Russia. As the Poles move in on Moscow in an attempt to install the czarina on the throne, Andrei, a serf with a life-long infatuation of the czarina attempts to save her from her brutal Polish husband.

I was drooling each time he said Poland in that interview. Putin's got special kink for us. Its not well known fact but through weird tricks we ended up ruling Russia for a couple of years. Not a lot of folks on both side knew about it, but then Putin send money for a movie 1612, depicting their heroic retaking of motherland from polish oppressors.
