Born in the Burned Hillfort .
During the second impostor, Andronov joined the Tushins , and then fled to King Sigismund III near Smolensk, where he arrived on January 27, 1610. Adding to the party, which wanted to give the Moscow throne to the Polish king, Andronov became one of its most active and prominent members [2] .
Together with Saltykov, Masalsky and clerk Gramotin, Andronov brought a royal letter to Moscow, which entrusted these persons with the administration of the Moscow state . Raised in the Duma nobles , having received the sovereign treasury and petition, Andronov was most concerned about his own enrichment and did not stop in his pursuit of any means: he constantly asked Sigismund and Sapega for permission to take possession of one or another estate and asked to be rewarded for the losses incurred by Vasily IV Shuisky upon learning of his flight to the Poles; besides this, using his power, he robbed and extorted what he could and only from whom [2] .
His accomplice Mikhail Saltykov was outraged by all this and asked Sapieha to remove Andronov from his affairs, since he only aroused the antipathy towards the Poles among Muscovites: many people were offended by various constraints on Andronov and ruined by him; he freed some from the court for a bribe, and dragged others to court and fined, but did not give fines to the treasury; in addition, he took from the treasury of Siberian furs for 2480 rubles and did not give money for them. Knowing that the Poles, his only support, Andronov vigilantly watched everything that could harm them, and informed Sapieha about this. At his insistence, Polish reinforcements were sent near Moscow, he also let the Poles into the Moscow Kremlin , forced Muscovites to swear allegiance to Sigismund, participated in the overthrow and imprisonment of Hermogenes, persecuted Russian patriots, etc. [2] .
With all this, he aroused such hatred of the Russians against himself that immediately after the capture of Moscow Pozharsky was captured, tortured, and executed in 1613 [3] . Both in the legends of contemporaries about the unrest, and in Russian letters of that time, the name Andronov is always mentioned with malicious hatred [2] .
