Controversial issues in the history of Troubles in the beginning of the XVII century

The article considers controversial issues in the Time of Troubles history. It presents the analysis of the relevance of using the terms "peasant war", "intervention," "civil war" for describing the events of Russian history, of the XVII century beginning. According to the author, events of the Time of Troubles have failed to substantially change the nature of the Russian state system. The policy of strengthening the absolutist tendencies remained to be the main vector of its evolution.
