: I don't think it's an acceptable compromize. If the would-be-tsar is included in the succession, why not include the actual rulers Dmitry Pozharsky and patriarch Philaret, as well as whatever number of False Dmitriys who made the claim to the throne. There were also numerous peasant uprisings, with leaders usually claiming the throne. If Ladislaus was tsar, why not Pugachev or Bolotnikov? What's the logic? Anyone who made the claim should be included! Claim is enough, right? 
 : I still don't see any attempts by proponents of POV "Wladislaw Tsar of Russia" to update the list of Polish rulers to include Russian tsars. That really makes me question the sincerity of your intentions.
