so the way im thinking is that yelizaveta there at the time the assassination of dmitrii happened. the camarilla were hoping to embrace him to gain a foothold on the current ruling in russia by embracing from one of its more influential noble families. [the wasiowskas were there and in moscow but since a good chunk of Eastern Europe was held by the tzimizce the camarilla needed a stronger hold on russia other than just moscow u know?] and dmitrii was the one they had their eyes on. so they had set up through dropping in words that would cause the mortals to conspire an assassination so that they could swoop in and embrace him. it worked, and so they orchestrated his assassination in the hopes of taking the crown for themselves.

buuut they didn’t take into account that yelizaveta had been at the palace and has a close allyship with the current mortal nobility. at the right place at the right time it seemed she found dmitrii bleeding out in a hallway and in an attempt to save him decided that it would be best to embrace him. [also realizing that this was in no doubt planned by the camarilla] and though dmitrii was grateful to her he was FURIOUS at the people who he thought had his best interests at heart. and so he wears the rings that belonged to them as a reminder of them and what the had done to him. heavy is the head that wears the crown and if held by the weight of betrayal u know?
