Boris Godunov’s Muscovite ambassador to Elizabeth I of England, 1600: the gentryman (dvorianin дворянин)
Grigorii Ivanovich Mikulin.
Portrait by an unknown English artist.
He had served as governor of Narva and of Siberian settlements in the 1590s. He had known Godunov since the 1570s, when they
had been part of the circle of the heir to the throne (tsarevich царевич), Ivan Ivanovich (died 1581). The sea journey took 33
days. He travelled with a scribe (pod”achi подъячи) and a translator. He had an audience with Elizabeth on 14 October
1600. His charge was to explore whether the English would help Muscovy (in the north) to defeat Poland and Sweden, or (in the south) join a Christian crusade against the Ottoman Turks. His
second audience, at which he received an answer in the negative, was on 14 May 1601. He departed England at Gravesend on 21
May 1601. He re-joined the Muscovite army on the Polish frontier in 1602, and was commanding at rifle (strel’tsy стрельцы)
regiment at Orël in 1605.

Polish woodcut image from a panegyric for Stanisław Grokowski (Cracow 1605). Vlas’ev was a trusted
associate of Boris Godunov and had served in the Muscovite embassy to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf in
Vienna since 1595, then served in the Diplomatic Office (Posol’skii Prikaz Посольский Приказ) in Moscow from 1601. After a brief spell as Governor in Tula, a key fort and munitions centre south of Moscow, Vlas’ev soon
adjusted to serving False Dmitri, and was sent as envoy to King Sigismund of Poland to report on the accession of False Dmitri and to help arrange his marriage to Marina of Mtsensk. When Vasilii Shuiskii became Tsar in 1607 after False Dmitri was deposed and murdered, Vlas’ev was sent to be Governor of Ufa in Bashkiria, but was
actually imprisoned till 1610. His career and fate thereafter is unknown.
