Who took over the throne after Feodor's death?

  • Boris Godunov

  • Ivan the Terrible

  • Vladimir the Saint

  • Dmitry the Pretender

Answer

Boris Godunov rose to power upon Feodor's passing, assuming control of the Russian throne. Although related to the previous rulers through marriage, Boris lacked direct lineage to the throne. His reign marked the end of the Rurik dynasty, solidifying his place as the first non-Rurikid ruler of Russia.
