Tushino Camp

The Tushino Camp was the camp of False Dmitry II near the village of Tushino near Moscow from June 1608 to December 1609. The Tushino Camp served as False Dimitry II's capital, and as a result False Dimitry II received the name "Tushino Thief." All those dissatisfied with the elected Tsar Vasily Shuisky, flocked to the Tushino Camp, which made it a shadow capital with its own state institutions and leaders. From December 1609 to March 1610, the Tushino Camp supported the Polish King Sigismund.
