Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible

“The rulers of the state consider history to be a servant and a seductress, a “dolly” ready to lie down in someone else's bed under any circumstances, at the first invitation,” says the famous Russian writer Vladimir Lichutin. This book is the author's reflections on the last sovereign of the Rurik dynasty, Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich IV, who is remembered in history as the Terrible. About the true motives of his actions, his searches, about love, fate, and aspirations. The author's vision is unexpectedly interesting and distinctive in many respects.
