Ivan the Terrible through the eyes of the contemporary. Morozova L.

The personality and activities of Ivan the Terrible caused and cause diametrically opposite opinions and assessments from his contemporaries to the present. Based on the analysis of a large number of documents - Russian chronicles, discharge books, notes of foreigners - the author of this book not only recreates the image of the king and makes an attempt to destroy the prevailing stereotypes of assessments of his activity, but also represents a wide panorama of historical events of that time and their participants.
