Not entirely sure how to translate the term. Google suggests "troubles", but it's missing the notion of unclarity of the original. The historical period is quite interesting, so it's a real shame the game got panned. We're talking time between Ivan IV dying and Mikhail Romanov getting crowned (thus starting the now notorious Romanov dynasty). Strange times. Polish invaders, false kings, boyars scheming. And technologically too, it's early XVII century - gunpowder ahoy, but still plenty of cold weapons, bows and whatnot
It's a really interesting time period, and it's such a shame that the game turned out to be an utter garbage.
