He took Kazan and Astrakhan, created a modern Russian state, and deleted it from the project of the Millennium of Russia monument Emperor Alexander P. Orthodox people inscribed his name among the saints - and the Orthodox hierarchs call him a maniac and a killer. Over 50 years of his reign, he executed 8 times less than the French king Charles IX killed for one Bartholomew’s night - and historians declared him the greatest tyrant of all times and peoples. He has never missed the church service in his entire life - and he was attributed to the murder of Metropolitan Philip and his own son. They lied about him during his lifetime and after death. But the time has come to cleanse the memory of the first Russian Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich IV Grozny.
He died more than 400 years ago, but his name is still of acute interest. Some see in him a bloodthirsty villain, others - a great historical figure, others revere him as a saint. Today they talk about him from high stands and on church councils. And this is not by chance. The question of the historical role of the formidable king is the question of the authorities. Modern Russia needs an iron hand that can lead it to victory through the upcoming trials. In the XVI century, the Moscow sovereign managed not only to save Russia from the collapse, but also to turn it into a great empire.
What was this king? What did it mean to our country and for the whole world? Will today"s leaders of Russia be able to use the political and spiritual heritage of Ivan IV? This is new - supplemented and corrected - edition of the book of the writer and journalist Vyacheslav Manyagin
