On March 30, 1613, the Kostroma peasant Ivan Susanin performed his heroic deed.

Susanin was the elder of the village of Domnino in the Kostroma district, a hereditary estate of the Romanov boyars. After the Zemsky Sobor officially elected Mikhail Romanov as tsar, the Poles sought to capture or kill the young ruler. Learning that he and his mother were near Kostroma, Polish detachments set out in pursuit. Along the way, they captured local peasants, torturing them to extract the exact whereabouts of Mikhail Fyodorovich. Among those seized was Susanin.

According to one version, he led the enemy troops into an impassable swamp, where they killed him before perishing themselves. Another version suggests that Susanin simply refused to reveal the tsar’s hiding place and was "tortured to death" in the village of Isupovo in front of the villagers to instill fear.

Few historical records of this event remain, and scholars still debate the details, including the exact location of Susanin’s death and the circumstances of the Romanovs’ stay in the Kostroma district.

Yet evidence of Susanin’s heroism is found in a royal grant issued by Mikhail Fyodorovich to Susanin’s descendants. Dated November 30, 1619, the document describes the legendary sacrifice and bravery of the Kostroma peasant. It grants Bogdan Sabinin "eternal and hereditary possession" of land in the village of Domnino and exempts his family from all taxes "for the proven loyalty to the sovereign of his father-in-law Ivan Susanin, tortured by the Poles," as stated in the decree.
